Default PINS, Tent, Wood, 11-inch 1J 26180

I have now carefully brushed the loose dirt from the six remaining PINS, cleaned them all with Lemon Oil and given them two light coats of Boiled Linseed Oil, drying 48 hours between each coast and wiping any excess off, one half hour after application to prevent any surface sticky residue buildup.

I then took a sufficient length of new Jute Twine to give them the same double wrap and triple knot binding as the factory original set. there is a 1-1/4 inch loop tied off with a double knot on the originals where an ID Tag would have been fitted. I am leaving that open at the moment while I sort out the details of the tag. There are some bits of equipment hiding here somewhere with these tags on them, but no rush for the moment.

Surprising how close to the originals these cleaned up ones are when finished.
