I'm not spraying anything Oinkus.
100% hand rubbed finish.
And here's the test piece at the moment. I'm going to leave it to dry for a few hours and then put some plain, non-tinted danish oil on top before I go to bed. With any luck, it won't pull up any of the colour. If it does, I probably won't need to worry that much anyway, cuz tru-oil hardens up much better than danish oil does.

On the blue side I used the walnut grainfiller full strength, and seeing as how dark it is, I think I might do what I did on the orange side - lighten up the walnut by mixing it with natural tinted grainfiller. Also, the dark blue is a little blotchy because of how I had to apply it. I was kinda using a couple of techniques including dabbing the oil to keep it from spreading around.
On the next test piece (it'll have to wait for another day), I'm going to try and wipe only, but building up the layers very gradually.
Looks like this may just come out looking nice after all. Phew.
