oz31p Report post Posted January 27, 2011 I started by using early american wood stain. 1part stain 1part paint thiner.I aplied the mix with a brush all over. I hand rubed a little strait paint thiner and used sand paper to lighten up the tips and the high points and some of the burrs. Them I let every thing dry in the sun for a day. Then I used a piece of cardboard to rub every where kinda like barnishing to give it a slight poilish. I then applied mink oil with my finder tips. I repeated the rubing sanding and mink oil till it looked right. I have every thing to finish the project so I should have a few finished pictures in a few hours.
