Three quick coats of Danish oil later, and it's looking great. The pics show before and after (and of course you can see the new routing).That stuff only takes a couple of minutes to wipe on, and a few hours to dry, so it only took a couple of days to get it done.
I could just leave it like this, but as I need to add some waterslide transfers, I'll probably give it a quick spray of matt varnish first.
The finish is far from perfect - particulary when you hold it up to the light and catch the reflections, but from any distance it looks great, and besides this s upposed to be a relic project. Trouble is with the hardware added it looks sooo sweet, I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to add the stickers...
