I posted pic's of this piece a few weeks back, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=41977 here it is again with a heavy coat of BLO and several very light coats of T&T Original. The T&T is somewhat difficult to work with, but light coats and lots (and lots) of hand buffing do make it worthwhile. It really brought some beautiful wood to life by deepening the walnut and beautifying the maple. I think I'm done, going to let it sit and cure for a week or two, maybe another coat of T&T, maybe not.
I do have a question, Can I put a coat of minwax finishing wax on it or should I stick with additional coats of T&T Original (Polymerized Linseed Oil and Beeswax)??
LOML is delighted with it, it was originally for our bedroom but has ended up in the living room and will stay there. It was a fun piece for me, lots of new techniques used and lots of lessons learned.
