wow, very nice. can you describe your application method?

I tried oil finishes a few years back, but the results were less than satisfactory. This kind of oil finish I could definetely try again.

first mix oil and beeswax and that mixture use as a lubricant for applying shellack(french pollish) that´s why no glossy shine, or mix those three components in a way you like the best and try it on the peece of wood that is the same as one you`ll make an instrument of,
