  • Oil Finishes for Wood by James Vincent Doody, Jr
    Thoughts on Oil Finishes for Wood by James Vincent Doody, Jr. Downloaded from Badger Pond On Surface Preparation: ♦ Getting a "glass-smooth" finish isn't especially tricky, but it has much less to do with finishing materials and technique than with adequate surface preparation. Plane, scrape, and sand (but do not burnish) the wood until it is perfectly flat and smooth. When not to use an Oil Finish: ♦ Open-pored woods like mahogany and oak need to be sealed, sanded, resealed, and then filled with a (possibly colored) paste or liquid filler to support a glass-smooth finish. I don't see people even try with oak but mahogany can look lovely and glossy with proper scraping, sealing, sanding, filling, resanding and then coating with shellac, French Polish, or lacquer. It's a lot of painstaking work! On Applying an Oil Finish: ♦ Closed-pore, tight-grained woods like cherry, birch, and maple don't need the sanding sealer and filler step at all and will let you just work up to 320 grit sandpaper before applying any finishing material. Contrary to common myth, an oil finish can produce just as high a luster as lacquer, shellac, or [shudder] varnish. Apply a coat of thinned "Danish Oil" liberally and wipe dry after 30 minutes. You'll cringe when you notice that your painstakingly sanded surface is no longer smooth because the liquid has raised the grain a bit. ♦ Take 0000 steel wool lubricated with mineral spirit or even some of the thinned oil and smooth it back down. Use some elbow grease! Wipe dry.
