Anyone know of a source for persimmon oil? Some of us were discussing old
Chinese wood-treating methods and persimmon oil came up.

Me, I've never heard of it.

I don't know of a source - but if you're into golf at all you'd know
something about this oil.
This is the oil that was used to HARDEN the wooden drivers. Makes wood
extremely hard and is quite durable. You still need to put a hard
varnish over it if it's going to be exposed to the weather - like UV
rays and or rain.
