Hi Ron,

If you can dig up the name it would be great. When I search on hardwood in Texas I get lots of foreign [ain't Texas] sources. If I won the lottery one of the items on the list is to go to the NE and buy lots o' wood!

I sand to 220 with a good orbital then I slurry sand 320 & 400 with a 66/33 mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Then I apply more of the mixture until the wood spits it back. A bit 0000 steel wool to polish and done.

One thing I love about the oil finish is the ease of steaming out dings and filling with epoxy the big ones and then sand and reoil the spot.
