A little further on. I've begun to apply oil now over the acrylic.

Oil works well over acrylic. Slow drying on top of fast drying. No problem. Sometimes I will lightly sand the area to help adhesion. Acrylic on oil though doesn't work well. I suppose if you sanded down the finish quite a bit but still I wouldn't try it. Acrylic would generally not adhere to the oil finished and if it did, could cause cracking down the road.
