Posted by Andy Kirke on February 20, 2011 at 10:38am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

This is where my build is right now, should be finished by next weeken.

Just wondering what stain, oil or wax would suit this?

I only use tung oil now. gives it a great natural look. just make sure let it dry in between coats

I don't think you would need to wax it. Try the tung oil on a scrap piece first. After several coats and rubbing it out, you will be surprised how silky smooth it can be. It depends on the wood and how smooth you sand it. I don't wax any of mine.

Thanks Dan and Jon. Can i wax over the Tung oil when it's dry?

Nice work - I second the vote for Tung oil - it is good stuff - easy to apply, just give it a couple 3 or 4 coats with plenty of time to soak in between them.

You could just leave it natural wood and put some tung oil on it. Looks good so far!
