Six coats

I've got six coats of oil on the bass. I had to put a space heater in the shop (my measly shop) to bring the temp up, it wasn't drying at all. It looks great - the wood has a ton of depth.  The one bulb in the basement blew out and I had to replace it with a new one, that new bulb throws a lot more light - it looks so good! I wish the pictures did it justice. I can't wait to get the final coat done. I'll probably let it dry over night and put the final coat on tomorrow morning.

And while I forgot just how dark black walnut got when you oiled it, it's not as dark as it looks in this picture.
