I put the light brown dye on and it was a little darker than I wanted so I went over it with a green Scotch brite pad and lightened it up some. Then 5 coats of True oil

Looks real nice. Did you add some reflex to it to get that straight profile and if so how much.

When I heat treated the belly I put in about 1 1/2" reflex.
