Snibley Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 your never to young to learn. I have made multiple things out of different species of wood. This time I went with walnut with maple splines using tung oil only something I haver used before, the results were awesome ( well I think so anyway) and I will be incorporating tung oil in many projects to come. I never really appreciated what tung oil can bring to the party. I applied the first coat with a 300-400 wet dry sandpaper, which lead to about 6 Coates all progressing up to 0000 steel wool. Sorry for picture not sure what's going on there and why it is upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snibley Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks for the positive feedback. I will attempt to post more pics, the brand of tung oil is minwax, I waited an average of 24 hr, between Coates, working through 300-900 wet/dry -0000 steelwool . The "plaid" is actually a Canadian Airforce tartan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Splines look awesome in there!! Did you use glass in the door or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snibley Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Glass, although if I had my choice, I would have gone a different route, Lexan is great not that more expensive but way more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
