    good attitude Doc, too many first time builders rush it and make mistakes and the finish doesn't cure properly.
    Wait till you get that ebony TM on, the grain will be so much darker and obvious.
    Just presand to at least 220/240 grit before you apply the TM

    @ Tony, hhaha sure the diary will be a few pages longer in 5 days. Good luck with your prospecting trip hope you find some goodies !

    Cheers Wokka, will do, hopefully the Dingotone sanding Kit I ordered comes with some 220 or 240 grit paper, if not I'll have to make do till I can afford to buy some from the Big Green Shed (more time in the naughty warehouse....*rolls eyes*), as the saying goes..."Slowly,slowly wins the race".
