Today I thoroughly sanded the hood but found a blow-out in one of the joints that I had to fix. Surprisingly a lap-joint [which I had claimed to be the strongest joint]. So I got that glued back together and added some putty. Then on to applying the boiled linseed oil to the hood. It looks pretty good and I'm pondering whether to add the remaining 2 coats that I had planned to put on. I won't decide that until after I also apply the first coat to the waist and base. I'm likely going to put oil on the waist and base tomorrow but may wait a day as I want to run the clock some. My assistant took many pictures so enjoy the slideshow below.
