Thoughts on finish
#17

I taught myself basic French polishing on a dining table we rescued when my wife and I were just married. Time consuming, but I was pleased with the results.

On other furniture I've worked on, a lot of which is 60's and 70's Danish Modern style, I really like oil finishes, hand applied with a cloth. These also take time to build up, but get deep into the wood grain, and bring out beautiful colour and grain pattern.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
