Hi' all, newbie here,
I have an ongoing project using Spalted Beech
I'm at the final shaping and sanding stages.
As you know this timber is very porous.
To even things out, do I use a wood stopping filler, a sanding filler, or fill with the wet oil and sanding technique.
I'm thinking of using boiled Linseed oil, as on my test pieces the linseed oil brings out the grain contrast better than my Liberon finishing oil.
I'm not going to stain it. I know I will lose some whiteness with the oil finishing.
Any other Ideas on keeping it as natural as pos'?
I have had some success using Linseed oil with the Liberon to finish.
Any Ideas on the filling lads please.
