The sealer goes on first, it's a thinner version of the poly tung oil, really just pto with more mineral spirits, to penetrate deeper at the first coat or coats. If that's what you were referring to...

I used poly tung oil and sealer. I put about eight coats on including sealer.
For the satin finish I buffed to green rouge then fell back to black emery to finish. I found 600 a little too grainy...

On the one hand, just because I had them. Other hand, I think they look nice with the wood.

Yeah, I've seen it a lot and thought I'd give it a try with the scales being slightly longer at the bottom. It would be a better effect if there were more of a point to them.

Tung oil with a horn wedge and copper washers. My fist try at a satin finish.
