[QUOTE="khmplus, post: 2970938, member: 121867"] For me, pores in my walnut stock sealed up after about 8 coats of Tru Oil. For the first coat, I made walnut sawdust (powder) with a disc sander and rubbed a little bit of that in while applying the Tru Oil, but it still took many coats to finally seal the pores. I don’t know the product you are using, but Tru Oil hardens to the touch in a few hours. There is no oily residue, it’s like polyurethane but goes on in thinner coats. I would experiment on a scrap piece of wood until you have a system worked out that you are comfortable with and get good results. Regarding the beautiful maple stock discussed, maple has closed pores so a nice finish can be achieved with fewer coats. [/QUOTE]
