BLO/mineral spirits 50/50 will bring that grain out not that it needs it much. A wipe on poly would finish it nicely as well.

Is that super glues?

[Sean]

No, Boiled Linseed Oil, mix it half with Mineral Spirits, which will help dry faster. BLO really brings out the grain
in some pieces. Look for it in your local hardeware stores.

Hey hey! Beautifull job buddy, even got my trade mark finger grooves lol! Thats a lil ripper mate, what timber is it? I'd suggest a clear laquer or poly coat: laq usually cures harder, poly is slightly softer, yet more water and chem resistant..both bring out nice chatacter in the timber... great job man..

Wow, the grain on it is amazing!

Be sure to handle linseed with care, it can spontaneously combust
