Unbelievably Easy DIY Wood Finish Recipe // Woodworking

My woodworking teacher always made his own using pinesap and other natural ingredients, that stuff always smelled amazing!

Anne. Is this the same finish you used on your writing desk?

I put this on everything. Go to “shop finish “

Great video, thank you very much for the knowledge. Quick question, would this work for pine floors? Thanks

An easy wax finish (quantities by weight):
45% wax of your choice
45% turpentine
10% linseed oil

Would recommend it for a table top. Like tv console table

Great video!! Can I add a stain to this finish mix?

Hmm I use the same thing except I do Turpentine for the Mineral Spirits. I wonder if one is better than the other?

awesome work. was looking for ideas to stain some vintage mirror frames. thank you.

Beautiful exited to try it . Ty

Greetings anne
Thanks for your video a lot
I have a question about finish I'm trying to make
I'm using rosin (colophony) as the resin (wich is a natural resin) and olive oile and accetone to dissolve them
But when I apply it , it remains very sticky and adhesive and never dries .
Can anyone help me with this problem ???
Should I use kind of a "hardener" ??

Anne can you used it on pine sanded plywood?

This polyurethane is the same like decking oil which is penetrating polyurethane oil?

Is this good to use on outdoor furniture as well?

Should we use a prestain on our furniture before we stain it?

Hrmm, the red oak and walnut actually is pretty nice. I usually like Birch or Maple with walnut cuz I love the contrast and the pop of the walnut against the light wood....but that's red oak ain't half bad either.

Can you use a similar finish on an outdoor wood deck?

Isn’t this essentially a home recipe for danish oil?

Thank you for sharing this! Would tung oil work as a replacement for the linseed oil?

Image a mistake and let it get tacky, any tips on how to fix it?

Is there a reason you used Spar poly in this mix over just regular poly? Will the chair go outside? Just wondering. Chair looks great.

This is super simple - thanks for sharing. One question - can I use water based polyurethane or does it have to be oil based polyurethane? And also in California we get this new mineral spirit which is milky white. Is that OK to use? Thanks in advance.

I just slapped one without blo for wipe on poly and been using it for a bit. Great on little bird houses that we paint with tempera by our kids

Thanks for the video ! I'm still a beginner, and very happy to know this recipe, i'll just replace linseed by teck oil, this is easy to apply, very rewarding

great video, and beautiful chair!

I use that myself. And you are 100% correct. It is awesome for walnut. It is a bit light for white wood. I recommend a coat of stain first if you want the wood darker.

Is that mixture ok to use for cutting boards?

Thanks for the video. Can you share the raw materials and quantities?

I would kill to have a girl like you around me all the time! Great looking chair!

I love that chair! I like the looks of the rustic angles of interest and the angles in the seat. The 2 woods really makes it sharp. And the finish shows off the craftswomanship. Thank You for sharing your knowledge.

Great video, great finish. The Mrs said there is no way SHE is letting me near her Mason jars.

How long did you wait from the time you applied the finish until the time you wiped it off?

Would this work well on an outdoor arbor made of redwood?

Would this make a good wood deck sealant?

Can I use gloss in place of semi or satin?

I really liked your video. I have a question about a comment on using tung oil instead of BLO. Is the tung oil pure or is it minwax tung oil finish? Also, you stated that some people swap out mineral spirits with pure tung oil or is it minwax tung oil finish? The two finishes are quite different. Again, I enjoyed your video!

Beautiful work!

Newby here. Is the poly oil based?

Love the carpenter

Can you add tint to this by mixing minwax stains or other stain you find at your local big box store?

thank you

Any ideas on substitutes for mineral spirits? In california that's banned. Been looking at Acetone, paint thinner from Klean Strip, painter's solvent which the bottle says "Replaces MEK, toluene, xylene and VM&P naphtha"

Would you recommend any final finish or polish over this once it’s fully cured?

Tung pil works better than L.O. It smells better, and won’t yellow over time.

Hi Anne : ). Could I possibly use this amazing finish over a stained piece? Your chair is beautiful!

How durable is the finish? Will this hold up on a table top that will get a lot of use, spills, water ring from a glass?

What do you recommend as a finishing wax, after you use this amazing recipe? 🤗💗👍

Rather than hit it with 400 as a separate process, if you use a scotch bright as an applicator it'll knock the nibs off while applying the second coat!

Thanks for the great video! I recently mixed up some pure tung oil, spar urethane, and turpentine finish, which is functionally the same as this, and I was glad to have some extra reassurance on how to use it.
