After a lot of searching I’m surprised I wasn’t able to find any info on this. I’m currently building an entertainment center from white ash. I’ve tried a few finishes on some scrap. One was just wipe on poly by itself. Didn’t do much. The next was two coats of dewaxed shellac and one coat of wipe on poly. Not bad, enhanced the grain quite a bit. I then did 2 coats of arm r seal. Didn’t do much either.
Everything I read about oils says it will yellow this wood, which I don’t want. It’s ok if it darkens it but I don’t want any yellowing. At least not excessive yellowing. My next step is to try some pure Tung oil. But before I spend the money on Tung oil just to test it out, does anybody have any other ideas?
The shellac and poly looks good but I’m wondering if there is anything else I could do to enhance it just a bit more.
Cheers.
