Ask Steve a question. / great finish

I have used Tru-oil on several projects lately.  It is gun stock refinishing oil.  It makes for a beautiful glossy finish if you put enough coats, but you can leave it so the grain of the wood shows.  It only slightly darkens the wood but is durable.  This is by Birchwood Casey and usually found in sporting goods stores although i have found it at WalMart on occasion.  i used it on the fret basket and the inlay box with beautiful results.  I would post pictures if I knew how 
Try it on flat projects because it is difficult to cover fretwork effectively.  Steve's process of dunking in lemon oil still seems best for fret projects.

Being new to scrolling, I also did an internet search.  This site has been my go-to site for most everything.  I have learned so much from Steve's videos!  His patterns are terrific.  I have been making trivets, baskets, and bowls like mad.  This is so relaxing for me that my wife knows if she can't find me in the house, I'll be at my saw.
Thanks, Steve, for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience.  You are a wonderful ambassador for scrollers everywhere.
