I used your walnut oil/friction polish on a Maple Burl bowl and the results are concerning. After 4 coats applied as per the label, I see dull or blotchy spots. My guess is that due to burl being uneven in density, has the polish soaked in deeper in some spots more than others? Will a sealer help get a more even finish, or merely adding additional coats?

 

Is there a risk of the walnut oil becoming rancid?

 

Why is a sanding lubricant so important?

 

What is the deal with shipping costs.? They seem pretty high.

 

What about nut allergies? Is this a problem with these finishes?

 

I have been using the high build friction polish and was wondering why when I use it I get a nice gloss but some spots almost seem like they are a asorbing polish. I have sanded the bowl up to 600 grit giving a very nice finish before I put the polish on. Do you think I need to build up more finish on it. This wood is very hard, one bowl was black acacia and had same problem.

 

What should I use to finish wooden duck calls?

 

Why do I get a streaky surface with the High Build Friction Polish?

 

I have a wooden salad bowl set that is over 30 years old. It needs life brought back to it. I've read about using stainless steel on it and then walnut oil but unsure of what exactly I need to do. Are your products an answer to reviving them? Please advise?
