I skipped the X part, I had a few issues with alignment. I also used the oxidizing mix reccomended on the page. Mine turned out very grey, I'm not complaining. Could be because I only let the mixture sit for a few hours? I really dont know. It was a fun project though and I plan to try more for sure.
Note: The 1x12s didnt oxidize much at all. Neither did the wood filler I used (must make much better cuts next time).
