Here’s what we look like after 2 coats of danish oil (to help bring out the grain) and 4 coats of gloss wipe on gloss poly. If things look good tomorrow it will get the final coat of satin poly tomorrow. If not a few more coats of gloss might be in order. Wipe on poly is much thinner than brush on so it takes more coats to build up. But this help in eliminating drips and sags that can happen with brush on finishes.

(Shells aside)
We have talked about Sis’ pen box but I never posted any pictures. So here they are, aren’t the gorgeous!?!?!
Unfinished:

Here’s Sis’ pen holder at the same point in the finishing process…
