So hither is the footling walnut breast amongst it's final coat of complete applied.
That walnut is gorgeous amongst it's brown, grey, salmon together with dark streaks.
Getting a keen complete on walnut is non easy. H5N1 matt surface which suits ash together with oak together with hence good doesn't expect expert at all. H5N1 shiny surface is tardily to accomplish amongst shellac, merely it shows upward every scratch together with I'm non keen on the high gloss look.
If I had used an crude complete on the bare forest it would convey highlighted the big contrast inwards the colours together with in 1 trial again this would non convey shown the walnut at it's best.
So hither is my complete formula. Two coats of mitt rubbed Melamine Lacquer to seal the grain together with save the colours followed yesteryear 2 coats of Osmo Polyx Oil Matt which leaves a ho-hum merely good protected surface. To complete together with gear upward a squeamish tactile sheen, I've applied 3 coats of Auro crude wax which I buffed upward later each coat.
