As expected, Alice was tonight kitted out with a new steam knob, noticeable larger than the standard model… Freshly oiled in these pics, it won’t be so shiny in the long run… Now all she needs is a coat of paint…

In oiling these kids in this stuff called kitchen oil… Sounds appropriate, but the real reason was that it’s mostly tung oil (probably, they don’t really specify on the label). From some reading, tung oil I the way to go!
