OK, so Knowing the Black Evil would sand into my oak, I made an executive dunksishion,
IF I had let it dry, not much would migrate into the oak,
I did the opposite,
I did my second wet sanding while it was tacky,  Keeping to my "WAYWARD" Direction,
and the outcome is that the Dark Palm Dust-- filled the Grain Holes a teensy-weency in the oak,
Giving the Oak grain the Blackened Contrast I wanted to Go along with the Gorgious Spalted lines in the Limbs
I HOPE :pray:
heres the 3rd coat now drying on my High-End specialized Drying unit
(If it starts snapping and popping its only a short toss into the hell Black palm belongs in-Im still digging out splinters in my fingers)
,
Cheers all, and THANK YOU for the kind words
John

Your requested close ups
Wet with 4th coat rubbed on with my finger,
Does the Palm Give My Riser a Slim Form ? :biglaugh:
you can see some of the spots where the black palm migrated into the grain
Dang thing rolled over onto my desk wet  :banghead: so its got some boogers ill need to steel wool off
before the next coat,

A good Monday to all
Cheers
John

Yep.....make sure limb is cured and cooled to room temp before releasing bands. It will help reduce springback.

Riser looks nice :thumbsup:  I think the black in the grain just makes it looked aged.
