I've done a little bit of everything to get it to fill in, scotch brite pads, steel wool, wet sanding with steel wool dipped in tung oil. used foam brushes (bad idea) anyway its finally starting to flatten out, I lost track of the number of coats a long time ago.

I just gotta get the wood finished so I can get back on the metal surfaces so I can color them.

the front sight was suppose to of been here yesterday which has given me a case of the redneck's, but it may be the weather seeing as how it was coming thru Cleveland Ohio.
