Wow Bill , that is really awesome ! Think you could give us the run down on the method you finally decided to use ? I know you said 14 coats of thinned tru-oil , did you use any stain to bring the grain out like that prior to tru-oil ? Thanks again for the pics :thumbup:

Sorry for not responding sooner David but I just got back from being gone a few days.
All I did to the box was sand it to 600 then using thinned fieblings med. brown dye wiped a light coating over it, let dry then lightly buffed with 000 steel wool. applied 1 unthinned coat of tru oil, let dry for 7 days, I know Bruce B. said wait 15 days but I'm not that patient. lightly sanded with 600 then applied a very thin coat of thinned tru oil with a rag, next day, lightly sanded with 2000 and applied another, for 14 days. Thats all I did.

Thanks for all the nice comments,

Bill

Hey Bill , no problem at all. I knew you would get around to it Thanks a bunch for the details . I fully understand the 15 day thing , I would have caved in at about a week too .
