The wife wanted a small display box to display some small objects. Took her to a local hardwood store. What wood did she choose for the box?
Koa!
Suddenly, I care alot about the box. Measure 3 times, write it down, go back to the plans and ok before cutting. Dovetails on the corners and the best finish. This wood was expensive.
So, I see alot about using natural danish oil. But, Koa is opened pore.
How far to I sand? 220? 320? I have paper to 1200 if needed.
Do I seal it? With? (Dewaxed shellac?)
Should I coat, dry, wetsand, dry with danish oil?
