A marvelous piece of red oak. I saturated the outside with BLO, then alternated wiping down and compressed air. Let it dry for a day then sprayed on very light coats of clear shellac.

Very cool, Joe. As was said above, it looks like a very tactile piece. You really want to pick it up and hold it.

(Welcome to Mohammad, BTW.) :wave:
 
Thanks guys ;) This is one piece of wood that sure makes me look good!

The whole tactile thing is one of my favorite parts of woodworking. I almost always use wiped-on or rubbed-in finishes, as I really like to touch and feel the wood. Someone else had suggested that I apply enough finish to fill the holes, but I couldn't imagine doing that. This piece is really a joy to pick up and play with.
