I have been focusing on my 7/8 scale future coat rack; with an eye towards having the full scale bench as 'pre-finished' as possible before glue up. 5x again.
At the end of today, I think my off the iron surfaces are pretty good, but I don't care for the look of linseed oil on NA beech (test piece) compared to hemp oil on NA beech in my finished sawtill. So I need to go buy some darn hemp oil and get back to work.
Again, my apologies for starting a 'build along' thread too early. I start another 7 of 12 hour shifts in 10 calendar days on 1-14. I will plan to update this thread again on 01-28, but I am done screwing around with sharpening and prefinishing and should be ready to roll out the TNT on 01-28.
Of the two attached pics, one was taken with overhead fluorescent and no flash, the other with no light other than (likely) LED flash. Which oil you prefer on whatever workpiece you got is a subjective thing. There is no 'best.'
