That was 4 coats , steel wool between coats and the fifth coat was over the forth with no steel wool .
I have used the true oil but for the Bocote just wont accept it unless you put super glue on first .

The picture doesn't look good , it looks all bumpy at the top . But that's the reflection of the light through the tree . It is like glass .

You are absolutely correct on the Bocote and Tru Oil Graps. I learned that myself the hard way on the Build along I did here on the ShadowCarp bow. I was not aware until then. Unfortunately PhotoPukeBucket took away the pictures in all my builds on here except the one I just finished, don't have that site to deal with anymore!
