    Ohh baby, that's looking a treat! Did the stain move at all using your new oil/wax combo? Spirit or water based stain? I'm keen to hear a little more about your finish application regimin. And the curing times etc. Quantities used.

    There’s a bit of TM grain filler on top, and the bottom is a diluted FW Japan black stain, spirit based. The FW only moved a bit, and I was careful not to drag the cloth over the top join too much when oiling the bottom.

    The application was two relatively lean and thin coats of the kunos, with a bit of t shirt cloth. I left it a day between coats, but it probably only needs a couple of hours. After letting each coat sit for 20 minutes, I gave it a bit of a buff with a dry bit of shirt. Then let it cut for four weeks…

    Then two lean coats of the bivos, roughly the same process, but a bit more buffing to get it up to a sheen. I let it cure for at least a week from there, but on unstained wood it’s pretty much good to go at that point.
