I thought I was going to finally finish Main Street #1 today but I fell short. I am still not satisfied with the right-most figure. So, I keep working until I’m happy with it.
Today I used walnut oil that I bought from James Groves. Really good stuff–for walnut oil. As I’ve written before, James really knows what he’s doing. His drying walnut oil is very limpid, very water-like, which is exactly the way I like oil. Walnut oil is more leveling than linseed oil, which leads to uniformity unless one remains on guard. Even so, it’s very good, like I said, but I’m sticking with my linseed oil. Too bad he doesn’t make linseed oil. I’m sure it’s because he doesn’t use it himself.
