I would suggest getting a piece of ali from a hardware store and practicing the technique before starting on the real thing..

Steel wool is good too - especially for rounded/curved surfaces. Needs extra care at the start and lift-off points; a bit of practice fixes that.

    Wrap some W&D round the wooden block, wet it with the oil, and
    using long (full length of the piece), straight, strokes work in
    one direction on the piece, not lifting the block off until you've
    run over the end (else you'll break up the nice lines).
