Hi all,

I've finally sorted out most of my Win98 problems after I lost all the software on my harddrive.

My Creative WebCam Go doesn't do justice to the this work of art. It really isn't that great but wanted to ask some questions anyway.

Please have a look here until I can get someone to post the pics on a server somewhere.

The sanding finish is very smooth. I used the 1200 grit.

Now the question is in regards to finishing.

The wood is from a redgum burl.
And I really like the rought features.

My first two prototypes were tested with Triton Oil and the other with Jarra Decking Oil.

Both turned the chocolate brown to almost black. Which all but hid the features of the wood.

What I want to do is darken the wood slightly to bring out the grain but NOT turn it black.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm afraid if I leave it like it is the wood could turn grey.

Maybe a wax?
