Rust, I'm not sure many of us do that. I know for myself it's all spray finishing these days. I would run a internet search for sam maloof finish- I believe that is the same as you are talking about.
Thanks Pete, I got the info. I know what you mean about things being different theses days. I used to hand cut dovetails. Anymore I use sheetrock screws. If it is a nice job, I'll put them in with a screwdriver instead of banging them in with a hammer!
