-Be sure to get all the wood dust off the pieces before you go on. Open
-up the wax/oil mixture. Dip your brush in and start spreading it over
-one side of each case piece. The color of the wood will darken as it
-absorbs the oil. Try to ensure it's spread evenly. Be more generous
-with the oil on the outer exposed surfaces.
+Some people don't like the look of the exposed edges charred black
+from the laser cutter. You can choose to sand off the charring, or
+alternately cover it all with black ink from a sharpie marker for a
+more consistent look, or just leave it alone.

+Once the case is sanded down all over with coarse sandpaper, find a
+good place to spray the lacquer or polyurethane; either outdoors or in
+a well-ventilated garage. Lay down the newspaper with the pieces of
+the case on top of it. Spray your first coat of lacquer to the face-up
+side of each piece. As you spray to and fro, overlapping the path of
+the spray slightly will minimize running. The evenness of the spray
+matters less on the internal surfaces of the case, so that's a good
+place to practice and get the hang of it.
