    It's still drying from *hopefully* the final coat. A few things I learnt using danish oil...
    - It is easiest to apply with your fingers, one drop at a time.
    - Sand to 600-800 grit between coats.
    - Apply thin coats (I did 6 coats), leave for 10-15mins before wiping off excess with a lint free cloth and then leave overnight. If you don't wipe the excess it will be super tacky/sticky (learnt that the hard way!)
    - the last coat I rubbed in with 800 grit wet and dry before wiping off excess.

    Currently it has a nice satin finish, not glossy at all but feels very smooth!
