If sponging, I put a generous amount on a do circular applications, working quickly.  After that I immediately do another application but in linear strokes or passes.  Works good so far.  Dip dying of course will create uniformity but not convenient on really large pieces so practice until you can get it.

This is how I’ll be doing it in future, thanks. I was a bit scared of using too much at first.

We all learn by doing.  Sometimes advice can shorten the process but there is no substitute for practice.  I like your project, BTW.

I found that, given enough time for drying and such, if you work in some neatsfoot oil it will even out the shading, but not applicable to everything. NFO has other effects, too, though, not always desirable. Always though, going darker second coat has saved the day more than once.
