My name is David and I have been acquiring various cast iron pieces over the last 6 or 7 years. I get most of my pieces from thrift stores or estate sales. I've been lucky to find pieces that have not had a lot of rust or damage. All of my recent finds go in to a lye bath, get cleaned up and then in to a vinegar bath followed by seasoning in the oven with a light coating of Crisco.
I'm here to learn about some of the history and how to identify and date some of the pieces I have.
