Finished my first walnut cabinet door yesterday...

I've been working on this kitchen remodel for a client over in Portland for the last 3 weeks, and I finally got the first custom door glued up and sanded. It's not perfect but it came out way better than I expected for my first try with solid walnut. Any tips for wiping on a finish without getting brush marks?

Took me a dozen tries before I figured out that wiping on Danish oil with an old t-shirt rag works way better than any brush for walnut. Does everyone else spend way too long just staring at their glue-ups before sanding?

oh man that first walnut door feeling is real! for the finish i just use a lint free rag and wipe on thin coats of arm r seal. way easier than dealing with brush strokes.
