Hi Paul just applied liberally with a cloth or brush wipe of the excess after 5 min let it dry denib and apply the next the next coat and keep repeating till you get the desired effect if it gets to shiny for you leave it for a few weeks to dry completely then apply some paste wax with some ooo wire wool put it to one side for 30 min then buff with a cotton cloth

They look very well made. I agree with the comments about being too shiny; they almost look like plastic.

I would not have thought that there would be much apricot around for woodturner, and your pieces must have come from quite a sizeable tree. It is always interesting to see something new!!

FWIW I really liked them while they lasted, even the much derided shine. I'm amazed by the apparent ease with which you achieved it, I must have a go myself.

I'm not surprised they sold they're beautiful. Well done Woody, how wonderful to have such success!
