I used Wattyl grainfiller which is an Australian product probably not available in UK but basically any paste type grainfiller should do. Instead of thinning with turps I mixed in some Feast Watson brown stain after sand sealing so the color would stay in the pores. The tung oil I used must be pretty much "polymerised" and far from "pure" as it doesn't behave at all like CB describes the stuff he uses so I am really looking forward to seeing what your korina project looks like when you finish it. All the best for Xmas! Willy
