Further to my previous posts, the progress of the oil-finish re-fin of my Spector.

First stage - sanding using 220, 320 and finally 1200 grit in preparation for the first coat of oil.

Thanks. The photo's unfortunately do not show the depth of the wood grain due to the flash.

I've just sanded-off with 1200 grid and re-oiled - looks even deeper grained when wet.

After a long toss-up (!!!) between Tung OIl and Danish Oil I decided on the latter, with a view to switching to Tung for the final finishing coats.

De-nibbed with 0000 wire wool and a final coat of Danish applied three days ago - it is hard to know when to stop ("just one more coat, just one more") must be my OCD kicking-in. The finish is now satin and shows the grain off nicely - as it should after 15-20 applications :)

The question is how long should I wait before beeswaxing?? :huh:
