The EASIEST Plywood Finish // Beginner Friendly // Osmo Oil // Enhance Birch Ply Grain // Vid#124

If you using nesting software you might get a patched version on your door. So looks like its better to oil the entire sheet. Look for imperfections and manually decide where to cut.

Really helpful — thanks folks!

Great video ❤ what would type of plywood would you recommend for a kitchen worktop? What would you recommend finishing it in to make it water resistant? Thanks

That’s what I thought 👍

Can I use Oslo oil on the cut edges but then spray the main panels or will the two react with one another? If not Osmo what would you recommend?

Can this be used on shuttering ply (internal walls)?

Awesome video, thank you! could you please tell us if you sanded the plywood by hand or with an orbital?

Really appreciate this video - thank you for being so generous with sharing your knowledge!

I’ve been doing this to my new kitchen cabinets but how do I seal the edges? It’s been soaking in and making the edges a lot darker and it’s seeping onto the front. I want to have them fully protected from warping.

Great vid thanks... Would this osmo oil be suitable for kitchen cabinets and drawer fronts ? Or would something tougher be required? Cheers

What did you say that blue rag is? I'm in the States and don't know what you're talking about (in the bathrooms?). Is that something I can get in the States or a UK only thing?

Thanks, this is really helpful! I'm looking at using Osmo Wood Protector for a Birch plywood worktop on a kitchen island however reviews say clear option makes it too dark. Could I use the raw cabinet finish then top coat for a food surface do you know?

Where do you buy the cloth? What’s it called?

I appreciate you mentioning rolling the product on, and that it uses more of the oil. I was deciding between Osmo 3043 and 3054. I think these are products made for North America. I've read that 3043 is meant to to be an easier brushing and rolling version of 3054. So I might get the 3054 because there's a better price and not worry about losing the option of rolling.

Lots of valuable info in that video! Really good!

Such a useful, practical video, full of handy tips for a beginner like me, thanks! I am in the process of replacing some kitchen doors and I was planning to use the same Osmo product so this is really handy.. Osmo seem to recommend 2 or more coats but you mentioned one coat is enough, based on your experience, is that correct? Also, out of curiosity, what grade of plywood are you using these days given it's more difficult to get hold of birch ply? Thanks a lot!

DOES the OSMO OIL. DARKEN WITH UV RAYS OVER TIME ? as Ikea furniture does .

Hi, have watched a lot of you videos Ryan over past few weeks, couple of questions…. Do you oak veneer your own MDF ? and if so perhaps making a video on this and you mentioned giving a demo on the Trend 35 cutter set you showed as I’m just getting round to setting up my Trend craft pro router station. Your videos on the table where great. Keep up the good work on here 👍👍👍

This was really helpful! I've been building a media cabinet for our living room with birch plywood and wanted the least color change possible. Osmo raw that you used on your workbench looks like it will be perfect for that application!

You said you're sanding up to 240, would you recommend doing that for a solid wood top as well?

Another great video! Thank you.
I want to make a plywood door just like yours. My concern is that the plywood will warp before I get to oil it. Do you have some climate control in you shop to prevent warping? Some storage tricks?

Have a look at Rubio white 5% on birch.

Do you still use the bits of ply with patches in

Are you able to get birch ply at a reasonable price?

Nice! Was just looking to get some more Osmo soon
