We had a thread several weeks ago with suggestions on how to "revitalize" stacked leather handles. Now I need the info and can't locate the thread. Will someone help me out? Thanks.

I don't remember seeing anything about this subject in the last several weeks , but there are two older postings that might be of some help to you:

You might try a coat of high grade leather oil like Montana Pitch-Blend, then a dressing containing wax. I've got an old Randall and this treatment has kept the leather handle in fine shape over the years.
