My dad gave me this skillet about 5 years ago and I didn't do a great job of cleaning it before reasoning. This lead to many cycles of poor seasoning because I never striped it all the way.
I finally got around to stripping it with oven cleaner for a week and getting it down to bare iron. I seasoned it with 8 coats of flaxseed oil at 500 degrees for 1 hour each. I am super happy with the results! It has a very nice hard and nonstick coating.

I should add, the season on the sides of the skillet seemed excellent! However, the bottom was flaking and really uneven. That's why I striped it.
