Rockdoc, the checkering was recut locally but not by me.
Bugsy, not finished yet, will post end result. A lot of veeeery thin applications are
being needed for this old stock.
Salopian, the (AL) I use after my initials means "Always Learning". What good would it
do if I didn't listen? :-) Thank you for sharing your experience.

That's alkanet root boiled in alchohol and mixed into linseed oil. About 6 applications wet sanded 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500. Top coat is Dig/salopian oil finish, coat a day for a month. Last 4 coats, I added a small amount of pure tung oil to the rub. The wood is one of 3 turkish blanks I bought cheap from Ali Denli in Switzerland.

Very nice.
Also, I assume when you say wet sanded, you mean with "water"... or do you use a different lubricant... I know some guys swear by oil (linseed or such in their wet sanding).
I am also learning how to use sparing applications. I'm also getting the feel for working with Pumice and Rottenstone on the final layers to remove imperfections and knock the gloss down andor prep for the final final coat... Very interesting part of the whole re-finish process this pumice and rottenstone work! learning learning learning...

No Yogi, wet sanded with the alkanet oil as the wet. Wipe down, let dry, repeat with next grit.

Terminology is important. Up to now, in all I have read, whenever anyone has mentioned "wet sanding" it is using the finisher as the wet [as Hansli puts it, :-)]
Water was mentioned only for "whiskering".

The red on many of the old American doubles is simply garnet shelac. Check a LCS or Parker.
