What happens here

Prepare the cabinet for finishing by sanding all surfaces smooth with 220-grit sandpaper, ensuring all dust and glue residue are removed from the cracks and surfaces. Apply a coat of Watco Danish oil finish using a rag, wiping it evenly over the entire project. The creator notes that a foam brush might be easier for reaching nooks and crannies and achieving a more saturated finish. Let the oil soak in and wipe off any excess according to product instructions.

Goal: Achieve a smooth surface and apply a protective, attractive wood finish.

Tools and materials

  • 220-Grit Sandpaper — Fine sanding of the wood surfaces
  • Gloves — Protecting hands during finish application
  • Rag / Foam Brush — Applying the wood finish
  • Random Orbital Sander Festool — Sanding all surfaces of the cabinet smooth
  • Watco Danish Oil Watco — Providing a durable and enhancing finish to the wood

What they say

Hide

perfect guard to keep the paper in place for the finish I sanded the project down to 220 grit sandpaper once everything was smooth and I ensured that all the dust was out of the little cracks and I got all the glue that squeezed out I used a tongue oil finish on a rag just went and wiped it all over the entire project this is a really easy application if I was to reapply this oil one more time I think the one thing I do different is I'd pick up a foam brush just cuz it made it a lot more easier to get into the little nooks and crannies as well as having a far more saturated piece of material to apply it with now
