I sand my work prior to cutting down to 220, after I cut I do a hand sanding depending on delicateness (is that a word) fragility. I then remove any sawdust by using either a tack cloth or my air compressor. Then depending on size of the project I dip it in either lemon oil full strength or tung oil which I mix about 50/50 with mineral spirits. I mix with m/s because it helps it dry faster. After it has soaked for a few minute, I place it on a paper towel for a few minutes to let it absorb and drip off the some of the residual oil. I blow off the excess with my air compressor or wipe down with a lint free old t-shirt.
That's how I do it..
