I make furniture and have polished oil-finished pieces before and I want some outside opinions. I want to build up a shiny finish that looks "wet" without using laquer, frenck polish, etc. Is there a way to do this???
Can you "polish" wood furniture that is finished with Danish oil.?
If a piece is already oil finished , you could build somewhat of a shine , but not a high wet looking finish without going to lacquers etc.
There are some oil finishes that can be built up to something of a gloss.
A few ways to go......
Minwax Tung Oil finish is pretty good.
Highly refined oils( Damn near varnish) are used to build up finishes on gunstocks.
Marine varnishes can give a high shine.
Hinckleys is pricey but good stuff. Even hardware store spar varnishes like Mc Kloskeys can give a good shine.
Oil based marine finishes can be applied to previously oil finished wood after a basic cleaning w' a solvent.
A natural finish guy %26amp; thats my best shot.
Best regards
Reply:Try a bees wax based wax and apply many coats it a pain in the butt but worth it.
I have done it on small peices and it last quite a long time. Johnson wax make the one I use
