Thanks Mike-Funny thing is, we've had quite a run of sunny, dry windy days while I was doing this, so I got in a lot of drying time on the deck rails. I also often put a drying finish over our dehumidifier to help the drying process. In any event, I love the way it works: kind of like BLO, kind of like a varnish-I suppose because it's both in one. The other thing is that I never did get those big pores quite all the way filled despite wet-sanding in several grits and rubbing the slurry in. Still, the result is an organic look that I also kind of like.
I will definitely play with it some more for future projects.There are many roads to sharp.

I have a couple like that too Aaron. Just couldn't get them to fill no matter what i did. I don't think they look bad that way.
It's just Sharpening, right?

Yeah, it's still beautiful wood. These natural materials are a little like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates sometimes, right?

Very good work man! That's a beauty.
A great thing about wood, especially with patterns, is that depending what cut you decide, which slice you choose, the cut angle.. you will get a totally unique work of art. No two are the same.
Each with a story to tell. And in a way like the blade it holds, a little slice of history.
