I've gotten to the finish point on a jewelry box that I'm making. I know very little about wood finishing (read...nothing). I have been reading some posts regarding different finishes and thought that Oil/varnish blend (?). I went to my local HD and they didn't have any Watco Danish Oil so I bought a quart of Watco Teak Oil. After reading some posts, I found out that Teak Oil and Danish oil are basically the same thing anyway, according to their MSDS.
So...my jewelry box is made out of walnut, maple, redwood, and oak (I'll posts pics of the box and the cutting board I just finished when I can go to the one hour place and get them done). Is there anything special that I need to know or do to apply this wipe-on finish? Can I/Do I put some sort of finish over the top of this finish after it cures (how long?) to give it some hardness? Can I/Do I rub this finish to a gloss? I want to thank all you folks for all your help.
