[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1419008, member: 2736"] There are plenty of different products available depending on the type of finish you want. I prefer the hand rubbed look and use True oil or Tung Oil and sometimes use a mixture of linseed oil and shellac (French Polish)and then use pumice to polish. The true oil is the easiest to use and it gives you a very durable and good looking finish. If you want a high gloss finish, I like Permalyn. I start with 180 grit paper and once it is shaped the way I want it, I switch to 220 and then to 400 wet or dry paper to level the pores and then 0000 steel wool. I then apply the finish with the 0000 steel wool allowing it to cure between coats. Repeat the steep until you get the desired finish. The nice thing about this type of finish, It is easy to repair if it gets scratched. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
