I think I ended up increasing the mineral oil content to make it easier to work with (a thick paste that I rubbed on, let dry for an hour or so, then buffed off).

I seem to remember you having recommended/used a kid friendly wood paint/stain. Can you refer me to the post or a place to purchase?<br />Thanks!Jettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651628989081468698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502987269054206316.post-4175596429790715662009-11-18T00:13:50.789-05:002009-11-18T00:13:50.789-05:00Val, I was just thinking about how awesome it woul...Val, I was just thinking about how awesome it would be if we lived by each other so we could come to your crafting parties.
