Linseed Oil
I recently built the first of two matching nightstands. I am using
Linseed Oil(boiled) as I really like the way it brings out the grain. I am currently working with red oak and am a little concerned about number of, and thickness of coats of oil I should apply. New to this group and have only been building furniture about three years. I have mostly worked with Pine(bookshelves and small tables) up until last six months when I was blessed with a pile of rough red oak will attempt my first piece with a drawer next. It will be the match to the nightstand on my side of bed I just completed(my wife wanted a drawer). Anyway would appreciate any feedback. |

Linseed Oil

Note the importance of reducing the viscosity so you don't get the problem of blowing bubbles with the porous red oak. |
