I just bought a used bass with an ebony fretboard. I can't find pure lemon oil anywhere. I bought a bottle last year at Bath and Body Works but they do not carry it any more. I have also checked aroma therapy stores and even wood working shops. No luck so far. Any suggestions? |

2 second search on Net = http://www.amazon.com/Boyajian-Pure-Lemon-Oil-ozs/dp/B002A603ZY You can probably save a couple of bucks if you search more, but time is money. |

I saw that one but I don't think it is the same as what I used in the past. This one states that it is for cooking. I saw it on another site and in the description it stated that it is flammable. I assume that means that it contains some sort of chemical or alcohol. |

I use the Boyajian lemon oil. They even sent me a little bottle of wasabi oil for free when I ordered my bottle of lemon oil. By the way, a little bit goes a long way. My bottle has lasted at least 3 or 4 years now - I keep it in the fridge. Bill, tgo |

Natural foods stores are a good place to look. There's a place called Good Health Natural Foods over in Hanover, and there's a Whole Foods Market in Hingham. |

Boyajian lemon oil is flamable? It does not state so on the bottle, and this stuff is used for baking/cooking, so I don't think it is. I've used this oil since Bob Novy pointed me in that direction back in 2004. Funny, that last bottle I bought was about $12, plus shipping, maybe eight months ago. And I got a little bottle of wasabi oil, too! It was on sale. Ya! Amazon is a place to easily find what you are looking for, but I generally buy stuff elsewhere. A buck saved is one less buck I have to scavenge for the next time I want to buy an Alembic bass I MUST have. So . . . http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/12316.html Thanks again Bob! |

"Boyajian lemon oil is flamable? ....this stuff is used for baking/cooking, so I don't think it is." Ever see a pallet of vanilla extract on a truck? "Flammable Liquid" stickers all over, and haz mat placards on the trailer. Flammable doesn't preclude baking. Peter |

Went to Whole Foods today and picked up the pure lemon oil. They have several different brands and sizes. Thanks again Sonicus. |

Or you could call my wife, Dawn, at www.artscent.com or 720 563 0344, and mention that you are calling from the Alembic club. She offered up a discount for us for her aromatherapy grade lemon oil. We'll be back in Boulder on Thursday. |
