Last summer in the tube really did a number on my wood net. Down to about bare wood and a bit dry. The direction are tur-oil and 000 steel wool. I cleaned it up a bit with steel wool but did not remove all the finish in some areas, nor remove the basket.
The first coat was just absorbed on the handle butt and far net end. It seemed reasonably dry after 6 hrs so I rubbed in another coat. Next morning steel wool, coat, dry and coat. This morning I wooled and put on another coat. Just now, 5 coats, 6 hrs dry, looks to be building a bit of a finish.
My questions as this is the first time I've done this. Right track? How many coats would be recommended? Any recommendations appreciated.
