Hi there,
I'm near the end of my very first woodworking project of considerable magnitude -- a Mahogany bed, 2m x 2m (yes, 80 inches by 80 inches -- it's been *a lot* of work and *a lot* of fun).
I'm planning to give it a very simple finishing; something matte that keeps the natural look of this beautiful wood.
My question: is the finishing oil/wax/whatever applied after the whole thing is assembled? Or should I apply the finishing to the pieces before assembling? (I tend to think that the latter makes sense but it would be too complicated).
I'll be most grateful for any advice you may offer!
Thanks,
Carlos
