Ronnie Young info on finishing schedule:

1. Sand to 180 or 220 with the last sanding being by hand.
2. Dampen the wood surface with a sponge, allow to dry and sand by hand with 180 or 220.
3. Using a sponge brush apply a coat of 50% odorless mineral spirits and 50% tung oil or linseed oil. Keep the surface wet for about twenty minutes and wipe dry with paper towels.
4. DISPOSE OF THE OILY PAPER TOWELS AT ONCE IN A BUCKET FULL OF WATER. THE OILY TOWELS ARE A FIRE HAZARD!!
5. Allow to dry for at least three days in a warm dry environment.
6. Lightly sand with fine scotchbrite pad to remove any raised grain.
7. For Walnut, Cherry, and Mahogany, apply a 2# or less cut of dewaxed orange shellac.
8. Lightly sand with 320 non loading paper.
9. Apply several coats of your final finish. Can be lacquer, clear shellac, or varnish. ( I use blonde shellac or ML Campbell "dull" lacquer)
