April saw a club evening where the topic for demonstration and discussion was Finishing. The evening started with Jeff Cordery demonstrated why using Danish Oil is an easy and successful way to finish your work. Pieces are sanded and finished with grey Webrax, 1500 grit, before applying a coat of Rustins Danish Oil. A paper towel removes any excess and the 1st coat is left to soak into the wood for a day. Jeff denibs between coats with webrax and applies 2-4 coats in all on a bowl. Sanding sealer is not used as this would prevent the oil soaking into the wood. The final coat is burnished with paper towel.
