Highlights
Quality
The finish looks fantastic and has held up really well in the past couple of months.
Very easy to use and my cutting boards look like new.
Multiple coats made only a slight difference in appearance and my trial using a wood conditioner was nearly indistinguishable.
You cannot re-apply or touch-up after it begins to set or it acts like solvent and dissolves the prior coat.
Packaging/appearance
I purchased the ebony and was happily surprised and opened the box to no spilled stain.
