    Very nice. Silky smooth looking patina on the scales.

    Here is what I used and the order I used it in.

    1. Minwax Red Sedona oil stain
    2. Circa 1850 Danish oil
    3. Wash Coat (Shellac)
    4. Thin CA (5 or so coats)
    5. Gap Filling CA (2 coats)
    6. Sanding 320, 600, 1000 grit, acetone wipe
    7. Minwax spray polyurethane, semi gloss
    8. Maas
