6 coats later with the wudtone custom finish and we have this.
i also just finished scraping the binding. first time but i feel the lines came out very crisp and clean. started out drawing my blade towards me. ends up pushing the blade away from me and got a cleaner line that way….probably just personal preference.
next is the high gloss with ageing top coat. probably 4-5 coats with 1 week in between each coat.
