Hi all
I've just built a oak table and wondering about what finish to apply, I thought shellac looks nice when i tried it on a piece of scrap but i understand it's not very hard wearing for a table.
So i've ordered some rustins polyurethane satin clear varnish. Can I dilute with white sprit then apply with a cloth, is this better/easier?
Also can/should I apply a wax over it afterwards, to bring out the grain? The beeswax I've already got says only to use on bear wood.
Any Comment would be greatly appreciated as i'm quite new to ww, especially finishing.
Regards, Chris
