  IMG_7772.JPG - The longer the BLO dried, the worse it looked.  Apparently I did one of two (or maybe both) things wrong:  1.  I sanded to a finer grit than I should have (Did this to 180). 2.  I did not soak the surface long enough before I wiped the first coat off.  So, I applied another coat and kept the surface wet for at least 45 minutes before wiping the excess off. I suspect #2 is the issue.....I did not have the same issue with the top surface of the bottom slab.
