I just finished a 13” x 6” bowl made out of Chinese elm and was going to just use walnut oil for finish but then my wife wanted me to use some oil with stain in it to darken the bowl. I have put several coats of Watco Danish Oil with medium walnut stain on it but it is drinking it up like crazy. I probably should’ve put sanding sealer on first but didn’t think to at the time. Is it too late now? What happens when you put sanding sealer over danish oil?
I wish I would have left it as it was but in the long run it’s probably better to please my wife!
Here are some before and after pics. Comments and critiques are welcome.
Thanks - Tom
