I use tung oil polyurethane and lacquer depending on the wood type .My favorite would be poly but not all woods will take poly. ebony rose wood cocoboo and a few others I use wont take poly. Cocobolo I will only use tung oil no poly or lacquer. finishing is a art in itself I am always trying new methods but this run I went back to what I no works well.I didn't spray the poly I do spray the lacquer.Some of these mods have 5 coats of poly very time consuming but worth it when they come out right
Evening StrangerEvening all, I was just catching up and ran across the newest VV Woody porn show...

Good evening to you Rob. Once again, you have out done yourself!
I can appreciate the time that goes into finishing these woods. Most people don't realize how many coats of finish it takes to get a nice smooth finish that makes the grain stand out. I'm curious how you apply the poly. Do you brush it on or wipe it on with a cloth?
I am SO jealous. I want one! I love my REO mini but is there ever enough REOs someone can accumulate? Grr I want one. I feel like a little kid at Christmas. I need a sugar daddy to buy me tons of REOs. Kidding...
Rob, you're our hero. Do you know how lost we would be without you?

Your correct most people don't realize they just want it lol
If it was easy everyone would do it. I will pm you on the details .For me finishing has been all trial & era you learn what works and what doesn't .I consider myself a novice in the field of finishing much to learn.
I don't think I blinked for the past half hour. They are all drool worthy!Some more sneak peaks. I should have more picks tomorrow

Same here!
I actually downloaded all the pics from this rack and the last to my phone. So I can drool away from the computer as well as in front of it. 
Gorgeous, as we all knew they'd be, Rob. Which one has been telling you it wants to be an 801 VV?
There are two that have already told him they want 801 but you probably know that. BTW.... I'm vaping a short IKV LR 801 that may be too loose. I'll put it in with the others if it doesn't tighten up in a day or so. I'm using 100% VG, too. If I don't it is messy.
I haven't tried the ones you gave me. Hopefully soon. Have you tried the long IKV LR yet?
Hugs, Alice
Alice, save those attys I gave you for a VV Woodvil. They need a bit more voltage if you're partial to LR attys at 3.7 volts, like me.
The IKV 801's you gave me are standard resistance, so they're on stand-by for my VV Woodvil. I imagine they'll sing.
Ordered nic and a couple of flavors today. My first DIY attempts will be mostly VG. The PG will come from the flavoring and the nic.
They are absolutely beautiful!! I so can not wait to get hold of one. I've gotten so sick to death of fiddling with tanks that I'm actually squonking on my grand and then slapping the carto on my tube mod to get a 4.5v hit. Vape it dry, back on the grand for a refill, then back on the tube mod. It will be so much simpler to only have to use one mod for vv from now on.
Don't, then, go get tempted by the Phiniac Tanks. If you do you might never get rid of the last remaining tube mods. Of course nothing can compare to the ease and durability of the REOs And the magnificent build and beauty but the tanks are fun. AND I haven't yet gotten the perfect vape from a good carto, in a tank, even on VV, that I get virtually all the time with the non-VV REOs.
I traded my brand new GGTS (never used but it sat here for months) with two tanks for two REOs and my brand new ProVari (never used and it sat here for months) for an exceptional Woodvil. I did pick up a Buzz Pro, same chip as in the VV REOs, because I just couldn't stand the wait.
Counting the days folks.......... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 oh, the agony of the wait.
Hugs, Feisty Alice
