Tomorrow i will run a very slightly damp cloth over it to take some excess, then hit it once more a little darker cherry again and that it no more, i will fit some hardware and finish the neck, i was going to spray some black enamel on the heel, its the only way around this problem, but i will wait until tomorrow and hopefully we dont have this 80% humidity.
First coat still damp

nice colour Tony, should look great with some cherry stain
Looks like its darkening up as it absorbs and dries, i was going to do a burst but i really cant be bothered now (hate to stuff it and start again), this now looks like the tops done.

so that is darker just from curing Tony ?
no need for a burst it looks fine as it is.
Yeh Wok just from curing, when i put a satin poly on it should look shmick
Lets see how some hardware looks
