The bench spoke to me, passing on the wisdom of many ages. I learned how to tell finishes by touch and taste alone, using smell i can tell you how it was applied. He showed me how to tell the name of the person who applied the finish, but this must remain a secret (for no other reason than it involves slapping your talwacker around).
If you wish to know these ancient techniques you must wander in the frozen wastelands of norwich, bath in the magically waters of Yarmouth and seek the wisdom of the 10 toed man (something of an oddity in the area).
