It's from a woodworking company in Massachusetts, called Sprague Woodworking. Maple, beautiful job they did. Got it when they said I would, just 2 weeks from the date of order until delivery. Quite reasonable.
What does everyone think - can you over-oil a board?
That. Is. Gorgeous! I hope it gives you a lifetime of pleasure.
I'm not an authority on this, but as far as I know you cannot over-oil a board. The excess will simply sit on the surface until you wipe it off. You'll have wasted a little oil doing that, but you'll know that the wood has enough oil if there's a slight sheen of excess 5 - 10 minutes after oiling.
