Finishing Oak Baseboards
Christopher Riley wrote:
I have stripped the red oak baseboards in a room of my 1920's house and are
now wondering how best to finish them. They are sanded down to bare wood,
and I am not interested in staining them.
I was thinking of using Danish Oil; anyone have experience using that on oak
baseboards (and two door frames, as well)? Other suggestions?
Thanks for you help!
If you did a good job sanding, the Danish oil would be a fine way to
go. The stuff stinks to high heaven, is toxic and the used rags can
spontaneously combust, but you probably already know that.
Most people would go with a polyurethane, but the Danish oil is easier
to repair and I think it looks a lot better.
