Wow, impressive finish! A job where you can see the reward pay off...vs trying to unbolt all the original nuts from the original bolts. That is a job in which very few can sympathize with regarding the amount of time required!

I'm on the verge of doing my boards and am going with an oil (Cutek Extreme CD50, assuming the sample pot finish looks ok when I do it in the coming weeks), so a different finish but I didn't want to worry about damaging the finish when I put stuff in the bed, and mine sits out in the elements 24/7.
