But it also makes a fabulous undercoat that re-hydrates really old, dry wood. The key to using it as an undercoat (and I speak from experience having not done this correctly...) is to give it 3 full days to sink in before adding any top coating. After that, finish away! If you're looking for something somewhere between danish oil and polyurethane for a finish, I love using tung oil. It hardens up nicely and is easy to refinish if you need to.Found Beauty Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782636708553577871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162079187592315933.post-35874282552159459522013-04-14T10:03:47.571-04:002013-04-14T10:03:47.571-04:00Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing your process ...Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing your process step by step. I had no idea that you could put stain and a sealer over Danish oil--I thought it was a finish by itself. Love the result!PrairiePeasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501884283182432694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162079187592315933.post-73442859688223639512013-04-13T20:55:24.941-04:002013-04-13T20:55:24.941-04:00Great re do!
