JayCee---thank you for the wax. I am SIKED to try it... and Steve, where are those pictures of the old Army Navy stock redo? Would like to see it!

I have tried that Behlens Blood Red and the Tung Oil on some nice old wooden boxes I have. They were looking tired and I was never crazy about the colour. WOW, they look terrific now. The colour is red without being too garish and the tung oil 4-6 coats is incredible; it looks like an old finish, not brand new which is what i was seeking.

I am part way through my current redo project. still applying mahogony stain and sanding to fill grain and darken the wood... it is getting there. Soon I'll be in the Behlen Blood Red phase! Then tung oil.
