Everything was polyurethane in the past, or occassionally an oil finish. The pieces I built for my Kreg jig (walnut) have about 4 coats of some old (very old...) Minwax Antique Oil Finish that I've had in the garage for decades. It's a mixture of Linseed Oil and Mineral Spirits according to the container. I lobbed it on, wiped off the excess after 15 or 20 minutes, and repeated this process for 4 or so coats. It colored up nice, but walnut will color up nice with cat ****. This finish does not provide any luster though. I have not applied any wax yet, since I'm not sure if there is something more, or something better I should do before waxing it. It's not a piece of furniture so I'm not sure how special I want to get with this, but I do think it would look nicer with a little luster. Besides - it's walnut, it deserves to look gooder. Any suggestions? I just can't bring myself to shoot it with automotive clearcoat... -- -Mike- |

Any suggestions? I just can't bring myself to shoot it with automotive clearcoat... If you feel you have enough coats, by all means there is nothing wrong with waxing it. The beeswax in the last step of Sam's finish is there for that very reason, to provide that subtle luster that turns some woods into things of beauty ... walnut and cherry in particular. But it takes some hard work rubbing, generating as much friction as possible, to do it justice. I'm particularly fond of an English product called "Antiquax" for my hand rubbed finishes.
