Spalted White Oak In Progress

Been working on this one for a bit now, got it to the point of just a little more sanding, then it'll be ready for the finish.

I am probably gonna do Tru-Oil on this one I think, multiple coats, then a light coat of paste wax and a buff.

Tks Monroe, that flared lanyard tube gave me fits this time.
I always start with a small drilled hole, then step up in bit size gradually, so they follow the same path.

I was rushing on this one and jumped bits by several, and the larger bit made its own hole, even when it looked and felt like it was drilling true, so I wound up with a small initial hole right beside the larger one....DOH !

Live and learn right ?

I like seeing a frame and knowing right away who created it. You signature and style is excellent!

Some very nice crafting there!

I like the finish Tru-oil gives (worth the multi coats) but no the smell when using it :)

Looking forward to the finished article!
