Going to do some more shaping on the top. Not sure how I'm going to finish it yet. Still learning about the process. I've got shellac, boiled linseed oil, renaissance wax, oil poly

I got denatured alcohol to mix with the poly to make it easier to wipe on, but I think I need mineral spirits instead.

I was going to do a board with a few sections and try out the finishes before putting it on the stool.
