Thanks also Dave. I learned to do tru oil from you on the forum here, but I’ll post how I do it at present.
Supplies:
Tru oil, extra large cotton balls, squares of well washed good quality t shirts, paper towels or shop towels folded to fit around a backer to make a wiper. I use a 3M scotch pad. And finally I use 0000 synthetic steel wool pads for between coats.

Then you begin applying the coats. In the early stages you’ll use more oil than later. I will do two coats a day if possible, morning and evening, using the synthetic steel wool between coats. Sometimes I’ll only do one coat a day depending on time permitting. I usually do at least 12-15 coats and sometimes more. You’re done when you stop seeing improvements and you’re satisfied. Then I’ll let cure for a couple of weeks before gluing the bridge on and stringing it up.
Hope this may be of use to someone.
