Looks really good. How do you like the tung oil?

Loved it. It's the first time I had tried a drying oil as a finish. It really made the grain pop and gave it a richer color than I thought it would. I got mine from Rockler which comes unthinned. I put the first coat on 50/50 with mineral spirits and the second coat unthinned. It was much easier to use thinned than not.

I'll have to give it a try. David J Marks used to have a woodworking TV show that I would watch when I was starting out and he used it for everything.
