[QUOTE="JustAnOldCooter, post: 2970677, member: 123343"] Hi CJ, What you are seeing are the different denisities of the wood. The Fiddleback or Flame is created where the tree was stressed by wind and as the tree flexed back and forth sections of the grain were compacted and flexed over an over again. This creates ribbons of higher density cellulose and hence the pattern. As you apply the finish, the less dense areas soak up the oil more readily than the higher density areas. Be sure not to apply too much finish as you will create a thick layer that becomes gummy and does not dry effectively. Be sure to take is slow and rub in between coats with a bit of hand pressure to removing excess. Let it soak in overnight and then apply another coat. Taking it slow and rubbing it in will ensure your finish becomes uniform and dense without tackiness over time. As you build layers, the different soak rates will stop and it will become one uniform finish. [/QUOTE]
