Looking good, B. Sounds like you've got that chemistry stuff down pat.
If you ever get impatient waiting for finish to dry, give this a try. Get the aerosol Pro-Custom Oil. Spray a little bit into a small mixing cup and add 20-30% mineral spirits (this stuff is already very thin to spray out of a can anyway. You'll be able to tell when it looks like water, just barely. Sand in the finish with 400-500 as many do. Do that at least 3-4 times or as many times as you feel good about. Allow to dry (accelerate with heat). Spray the next couple coats and dry (accelerate with heat). Wet sand the finish and polish as with any other type finish. I did this whole process in a Jan winter and accel'd by hanging in front of the fireplace on my camera tripod. Drying was no more than a couple hrs. Did the whole finish process in a couple days.
BTW, the aerosol PCO is much faster drying than the canned non-aerosol. Seems different altogether.
