Ok, I think 8's enough. This is 8 coats of Tung oil. You need to wait 24 hours between coats 1 and 3 but for all of the following coats I do 2 per day. (It dries much faster after the initial couple coats) Hard to see in the crappy phone pic but it starts to give depth and look like clear plastic. It's fairly hard now but doesn't fully cure for about a month. Tung oil comes from the Tung tree
