Long-time lurker here, needing some advice.
I'm building a bed out of (mostly) walnut veneered MDF (with some solid walnut), and wondering what the process for finishing it is. Searching for advice on finishing walnut leads me to think that either Osmo PolyX or some variant of finishing oil is probably going to be the way to go (I will try both on some test pieces) - but also general advice is to sand to 220 grit first.
What I'm wondering is whether that sanding advice applies to veneered board too (I'm worried about sanding through the veneer, it's not very thick!)
Any advice?
