Then what you want to get is a quart of Waterlox Original and rag it
on.

Three coats everywhere except the top. Then use the rest of the quart
on the top. Wipe it on until it won't absorb any more, then come back
and do the same thing the next day. Repeat until the can's empty.

When it needs touching up, scuff it with 120 grit, and do it again.

Good stuff. About $18 per quart. Standard oil rag safety protocols
apply.

Hi Patriarch,

Where do you get your Waterlox? Their web site says it's available at True
Value stores, but I have yet to find one that stocks it. I have taken to
ordering mine via mailorder from Highland Hardware.

I've been using Waterlox since last Christmas ... first on a series of game
boxes made from cherry, walnut, and mahogany scraps. Recently I'm
finishing an unusual project (telescope) made from mahogany and Peruvian
walnut.
