I love this piece but I have a question about the finish used. The tops and accents are shown as being Rosewood and the finish is listed as Tung Oil. Oil finishes will not cure on true Rosewoods (anything in the Dalbergia genus) because these trees produce an anti-oxidant that inhibits the curing process. Commonly suggested methods like wiping the surface with solvents do not solve the problem, particularly with slow-curing finishes like pure Tung oil. I was curious if a dewaxed shellac or other sealer was used first.
I know what you mean... I used super thin coats and I did use a sealer.

This is a great design, both visually and structurally.
Terrific work!
