The Osmo is an oil varnish so it builds up on the surface, I could have used this from the start but it would have given a more harsh contrast to the colours. The anomaly here is using the Auro oil last, which is a penetrating finish, but it worked nicely. I always test proposed finishes on a test piece first. Good luck!

The good thing is it gets very easy to make a quick post... the bad thing is then you get sucked in to looking at everyone else's quick posts :-P I saw someone else recently saying they applied osmo after sealing with shellac, and don't really understand this - as you say, you are applying the lacquer to "seal the grain" ... being a penetrating oil, you don't find this to be an issue with the osmo? Seems a bit contradictory. Any insight would be appreciated. Finishing is the hardest area to gain experience in I find.<br />Thanks, and great work as usual.<br />OwenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343914204008549052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306427826258479906.post-12526161442143604372018-03-15T12:42:44.101-07:002018-03-15T12:42:44.101-07:00Thanks Simon, you'll be there one day!Thanks Simon, you'll be there one day!David Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618718370012866597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306427826258479906.post-36652429268457347212018-03-15T08:43:53.766-07:002018-03-15T08:43:53.766-07:00Bloody lovely mate, I so want to build one of thes...Bloody lovely mate, I so want to build one of these.
