But my method will feel much better, which is why I don't mind wasting a bit of oil to do it

but it could be done after I've built up a good thick layer?

1. How do I know when I've sanded enough? Am I looking for a completely smooth finish, no scratches, or what? Given the wet sanding to come, do I need to worry about it being perfect at this stage?
2. What's the best way of removing the dust once this stage is finished? A wet rag / dry rag / Hoover?
3. I've noticed some marks on the wood which I've just about been able to picture. Will upload a pic shortly. A couple of faded parts at a 90 degree angle to the grain, and some light marks that look kind of lake track marks. Almost flamey, but too uniform. The 400 grit had no impact on these. Should I try a lower grit to get rid of them, or will they be less noticeable after the oil goes on?

1. You will know if you have sanded enough when you apply the first coat. You can always go back a grit to remove more scratches but no point going up a grit till you are happy
2. Tack cloth is best, just giving it a wipe with any cloth will do as this ain't lacquer
3. Looks like big sanding drum marks, may be less obvious once oiled but if not may need relevelling totally

I've started using this Keda powder dye for flexibility, very bold colours and easy to mix, just add to hot water.

Bolgers stains are very good too, I used the blue for my avatar Westone, again a very bold dye, though I can't speak for their other colours.
