Before applying any finish, perform a final sanding of the entire wine rack, starting with medium-grit sandpaper (e.g., 120-150 grit) and progressing to finer grits (e.g., 180-220 grit) to achieve a silky-smooth surface. Clean off all dust with a tack cloth or compressed air. Next, apply your chosen wood finish. The video shows wiping on a finish with a soft cloth. Options include food-safe mineral oil, tung oil, Danish oil, or a polyurethane finish, depending on the desired look and level of protection. Apply the finish according to the product's instructions, allowing adequate drying time between coats and light sanding if recommended.
