Wonderful work there! What did you use on the wood to get that colour and finish?

Wonderful work there! What did you use on the wood to get that colour and finish? i used birchwood casey walnut stain to get the colour , as there is 3 different wood types on here i had to apply different amount of coats to each wood type to try to get an even colour.... followed that by applying 7-8 coats of tru oil (allowd to dry thoroughlyand used fine wire wool betwwen coats. Tru oil dries very glossy so left it to dry for several days then used fine 0000 wire wool to dull the gloss. Finished off with several coats of a nice beeswax polish.
