Finish for Figured Red Gum
Hi All
Would be very appreciative of finish recommendations of what others have used on boxes made out of figured red gum
Many thanks

I typically use a home-brew version of Danish Oil on my boxes - about 7 or 8 coats (apply thick, wait 10 minutes, then buff off as much as possible), followed by Renaissance Wax.
Here's an example of a box made from fiddleback Redgum, Jarrah and Maple.

3-4 coats of Mirotone Spraylac. Doesn't fill the pores like many other polys so you still see the full grain
