Esteemed experts,
I'm preparing to apply danish oil to a coffee table project. I built the top with an oak frame, holding an oak veneered MDF panel and thought I would try a test on some scrap pieces (it's the first time I've used Danish oil)
Whilst the oiled oak piece is looking beautiful, the MDF veneer looks more dull and darker. could it be becoming slightly transparent and showing the mdf below?
I would imagine the amount of oil absorbed differs too between the two.
Any advice/experience to share to get them looking similar?
Thanks
