more finishing help please
I am making a live edge coffee table and am approaching the finishing stage with my usual confusion:? and not knowing which way to go.
I am looking at 3 finishes.
1. Shellac, tried and true and have done a few times before.
2. Feast Watson WOP, sounds like a good finish and not to hard to apply.
3. Organoil HBO, sounds like a very nice finish if i could do it right.
Have read many posts on all these finishes and think have reasonably idea on how to do each. Have enough offcuts to try a few experiments but the big question is would the Organoil go onto a live edge ok? I see a lot of difficulty trying to wet sand and burnish the finish evenly.
Also the shelf has a large worm hole in it. Can sort of see it in the photo, left side goes right through to bottom. I have cleaned it out as best as I could but is still a little rough. would you just flood this the best you can with finish and hope for the best.
