Hi - my son and I are building a small writing desk for him.
Walnut legs and Top
Maple aprons
I haven't done much finishing for Walnut
I have finished Maple a few times. I don't like BLO or Tung Oil on Maple - it makes it too "yellowy" - I like a more natural look.
We won't attach the top until we are done finishing, so just the Walnut legs and the Maple aprons are attached currently.
My question is whether or not we can find one finishing schedule that we can use on both the Walnut and the Maple?
Or - will we need to tape off the Maple while we finish the Walnut and tape off the Walnut while we finish the Maple?
I would like to see some pictures or read about your finishing schedules for one finish that might work for both.
The walnut has some "blueness" to it - so I would like to not put too much "stain" on the Walnut, but would like to bring out the brown tones.
Feel free to post pictures or finishing schedules that you have had good luck with!
Thanks Alot
Nate
