My favorite part of vintage loudspeaker restoration?

I found a couple of surfaces on the KLH 5s I'm restoring that had not yet been oiled.
This morning I used 0000 steel wool to apply Howard's Orange Oil to this surface, which had already been patched up and sanded down.
This is my favorite part of the process because you can really see the grain pop. Until it's oiled, walnut looks like any other sanded down wood. But it really does have nice grain and color when oiled!

What color do you turn when you're "well oiled"?

I would have thought that your favorite part would be jarring the neighbors out of bed at 3 AM blasting some James McMurtry music on the speakers!!!

That must take a lot of muscle to do. Do your arms ache afterwards?
