Beautiful work, very impressive. Did you finish it with beeswax for good measure?

Ohh man, I hadn't even thought of that! I ended up using a pure tung oil.

You chose well with tung oil, it'll harden unlike beeswax. Pure tung's often my go-to but it just takes so long to properly dry if you're doing multiple coats.
