    Thanks Waz

    As the TO shine comes the "black" has become a rich dark red. It has got redder as more light gets into it. This photo has been taken after 8 coats of TO with a sand (1200 Norton pad ) in between each. Then a sandoff with 1200 wet&dry(dry) and a 9th coat.
    Still some grain to fill and shine to obtain.
