Ktech, I check your test info. After reading it I see one thing I did wrong to an otherwise beautiful job. I did NOT put on a primer. I noticed you used the Helsman Minwax which is what I used previouly. It still looks fairly good but needs freshening. Perhaps its due to no primer. I did do ALL sides and used 3 coats. I will surely use a primer this time. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
