I agree, beautiful glove. That is a very nice color. How did you bring the tone out? Was the glove originally the "walnut" tone? Nice work!!

Thanks

Thank you very much, every one. This glove is almost 3 years old. I clean it after every single use with warm water, a clean sponge and Lexol Orange. I rinse it twice with clear warm water and a clean sponge. Then, I dry it in front of a box fan until it's about 90-95% dry. While the glove is still a little damp, I put on an ultra thin layer of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly and then let it sit for 24 hours. The next day, I buff out any residual VPJ with a horsehair shoe brush that I keep just for gloves. After that, using a cotton/sponge applicator (like the ones you might use for putting wax on your car), I put on a light coating of Lexol NF. After 30 minutes, I buff the glove again with the shoe brush and it's ready for the next time. This glove has an extraordinary walnut grain in it and I can't say enough good things about it, I just love it. It's also the first Christmas gift that I received from my wife after we married in 2005, so it has sentimental value as well. (Truth be known, I was simply too cheap to buy one for myself!) If you own a Nokona, you know exactly what I mean. If you don't, it's impossible to describe what it feels like to another person. It's borderline obsession, for sure. Some people might say that all of this is a lot of work and that they don't have the time or the desire to do this. Well, all I can see is that this glove sells for around $150 or more in most of the stores and on the internet. For that kind of money, I can afford to spend 15-20 minutes to take care of it so it will be around in great shape for many years to come, maybe my grandkids will get to have it as their own someday. Thank you again for the nice compliments.

VBR, br
