i love this one but to be frank, i was kinda bullshitting with this one. i got a green sharpie and a ruler and after 20 or so minutes, i liked what i saw. as for the "oil application", i believed i brushed it with oil (cannot remember which one) and let it sit? i honestly don't remember the details. i'd have to redo it again to remember how i did it. but i love it!
