Thanks! I can't take any credit, aside from searching royalty free images.
Castironcollector.com is a fantastic resource. I've been collecting and restoring vintage iron for awhile now, and that site was massively helpful in getting started. I've got an electrolysis tank set up in my basement, and the forum users there were really helpful when I was getting started. Good luck, let us know how it goes!
Of course it is! Ever bake bread in it? That's what most of my dutch ovens get used for
Yeah, that really should do it...most of the time, "just cook with it" is the solution. You got a pic you can share to show us what's going on?
My opinion is not to worry about how even the seasoning looks, worry about how it performs when it cooks. Since it's a user, just cook good food with it. There's really only two reasons I can think of where I care much about what it looks like...if it's just a wall hanger or if I'm going to sell it.
