Posted the finished chairs on last project made but here a photo to finish this thread.

Table and chairs.

Finally finished the six chairs!……living room furniture set now finished.

Osmo lends itself well to recoating,I would do a test run on one of the ends,lightly sand then simply apply a thin coat of osmo with a cotton cloth,see the results. Dampening the scratch will raise the wood fibers as they appear to be compressed.Shouldn’t be a major issue to repair I think.

The chairs have now had their second coat after I waited for over a week to allow the Osmo to cure well.The first coat dried well but I wanted to apply the second coat with a westerly wind which brings warm and dry air here. A second coat has proved to be enough to give the chairs the finish I...

I’ve been using Osmo polyx rapid for oak stair and it a great product,last one was coated two years ago and as new. From my posting you might have seen I’m using it to finish six chair with a lot of intricate carvings.I still have to apply the second coat as Im waiting for the weather to be a...

All the six chairs have had their first coat and they have dried beautifully ,I think the second coat will do it. Osmo is an amazing product until it’s fully dried it doesn’t bring the wax to the surface. There are some simple processes to follow which I will list for future reference once I...

I’ll try blowing out the excess on the next three chairs,I have to go to the workshop later and see how the first three chairs dried. Theres always a bit of apprehension when you’ve spend so many hours on a project and the have to take a decision on the finish. Initially I was thinking of NC...

Well no replies probably means that no one has used Osmo for finishing intricate carvings.So I emailed Osmo who promptly replied suggesting I wipe the teak with white spirit and then apply very very light coats. Today I have started with three of six chairs and given them the first coat which...

Has anyone used Osmo Polyx-oil Rapid on intricate carvings as a final finish,carvings are on teak.

Interesting…..I know the migrate north after they exit the Mediterranean Sea,I’m in Gibraltar where we are get big ones during the open season from June to October.Smaller ones hang around all year round but it is illegal to fish for them out of season.

My favorite tool……..nice sharp spokeshave!

I hand painted my kitchen that had clear satin varnish ,which i had put on 20 years ago when I made the kitchen. I first used a degreaser on them applied with a scouring pad,removed the traces of degreaser and the use a one coat primer from Crown. I decided for a satin grey,I used Crown kitchen...
