Dave, I made my first go at using Tung oil during the knife swap, but I was doing a Tung oil-only finish so I let it set several days between each heavy coat, with thinned coats first, blah blah blah.  I’m happy with how it came out, but that was the only finish I applied. 

When you’re using it as a base coat then covering it up, what’s your process? Thinner? Heavy coat? Wait before shellacking? Any other notes to add?

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
