Nicely done Jerry. Thanks for sharing this with us. BTW the BLO diluted like that will soak into the grain of the wood and over time harden sealing it. You may wish to do it again in a month or so.

Very nicely done. Just an FYI you can package the cutting in a box of your choice and send it anywhere in the US using Priority Mail for probably aound $7 and it will get there within 3 days.
