Thanks, Steve. I have two of your planes and the finish is quite nice.
You had told me you use "hard to get" finish. Have you tried it on
walnut or maple?

I really like it. it is strange stuff kind of thick and gloppy but it goes a
long ways most woods take three coats. but it dries fast for a oil/ wax and it
is far harder then normal oil and wax combo's. it leaves nice shine and it is
very easy to use. I use it on my tools.I would use it over any oil/wax combo.
it's far less work and looks nicer.
bit it is spendy so don't let air ruin it. bloxegen works well to get the last
drop out of the can.

yes and it worked fine. though I don't remember how it was on walnut. but maple
it works well. oily woods take more coats I have found.
