Finishing A Small Piece Of Red Oak. Min Wax PolyUrethane Or ?
Hi,
Have a piece of red oak, perhaps 12 x 12 x 3/4 which I put a few holes into to mount a small circular barometer. Wood has a beautiful grain, that I would always like to see. Several folks at HD and Lowe's said the "best" way to finish it off, and still be able to see the grain, is a clear Min Wax Poly Urethane. Do you agree ? Or,...? If the clear Polyurethane, what's the best way of applying it, please ? A piece of cloth from an old T Shirt ? My finger ? A really high quality brush ? A cheap brush ? One of those throw away foam brushes ? Or ? One coat enough ? If not, how to handle; sand after dry, and then apply another ? I'm really a novice at wood finishing, and would be very appreciative for any hints. Thanks, Bob |
