Thanks. Garnet is available as dewaxed flakes. As far as button, do you suggest Kusmi #1 (caramel) or Kusmi #2 (red/brown)?

I'm leaning towards using the dewaxed garnet (2 lb. cut) as the base/sealer for the first 75 passes, then the caramel Kusmi #1 (1 lb. cut)for the last 25 finish coats. I'll then wax the stock as the final step, probably with Nufinish wax as it's got an advanced polymer in the forumla that provides UV protection.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
