Wood finishing


Testing, testing...


Today I'm testing out finishes on some off cuts of Ash.  I'll be lightening the wood with a liming wax paste. Liming wax fills the open pores in the grain of timbers and can finished with an oil or wax.
As I have had two different makers work on my projects I have asked them to supply me the pieces unfinished, this is so a uniform finish can be applied by me.  Also I have my own recipe for a wax finish which will be the final layer I put on all the wooden furniture pieces.
