I made a blanket chest for my DIL, using curly maple for the panels.
Sanded
to 220 and applied tung oil, diluted by half with mineral spirits. The
figure came to life, and you cannot look at it and see a flat surface,
even
though it is flat. Maybe the mineral spirits is the secret.

Nope ... the secret is labeling the container "tung oil", on tape, with
marks-a-lot, even if that is not what it contains.

Just ask David J. Marks.
