I am going to be making some placemats out of walnut for a friend and would love some finish advice. I have a Fuji mini mite 3 with a pressure cup gun. I have some Target em8000 conversion varnish and some em2000. I was leaning more towards the CV for durability. Any advice on getting the grain to pop with the water borne CV. Maybe a coat of Danish oil first? I thought about BLO which I haven't used before but was concerned about it's dry time. Any advice would be awesome.
