What's a linseed?

I finished my first pernambuco bow with several coats of linseed oil. As the oil dries, it darkens the wood, highlights the grain patterns, and forms a satiny protective coating over the wood. Not the same as a high-gloss French polish, but just as beautiful.

  1. Good question, what is linseed, and who are any of us? I have often asked my congregation that same question....
