Keep adding thin coats of tru-oil... you need at least 4 before you start knocking down the high spots. You start on thin stuff, you'll start pulling that stain out

I brought the project inside whil the wife was at work Friday so I only got one coat on. You can tell wher it coated it and where it just absorbed in. I most defiantly won't touch it with steelwool or sandpaper until it starts looking glossy. I also noticed that my bottle of true oil is almost empty so I may need to pick another one up.

I was wanting that look too, but it's hard to match what they do with laminated stocks on a solid piece of wood. My ebony ended up like this.

I like that, nice job

Looking good. Bout time to hit it with the 0000 wool or 800 grit wet paper. It's tedious, but it'll look like glassy bakelite

I wet sanded it with some 400 this afternoon. I was gonna coat it again today but ran out of time with other projects.
