Going to use Urushi for finishing exotic wood razor scales. When assembling my materials I learned I can’t purchase turpentine in California (!!!) —
Any experienced Urushi users out there know of good alternatives ? (not general turpentine use alternatives, Urushi is intricate & tricky.)

DeWalt DWE6423 5-in. Random Orbit Sander
- Stock removal was poor - Dust collection was near the bottom without a vacuum, but very solid with one - Roomy waist leaves plenty of options for gripping
Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
Tried & True Original
For the ultimate warmth, glow, and clarity, in a hard-wax oil, Adam Godet recommends Tried & True Original. To get there, however, you’ll need to buff it between coats.

- Fair stock removal and dust collection - Thanks to a scoop in the dust port, there’s plenty of room to grip around the waist, even when attached to a shop vacuum - Handles smoothly
