Wood Finishing How-To: Hand-Rubbed Tung Oil Varnish on Walnut

Full discussion on our blog! http://www.woodworkerssource.com/blog/wood-finishing/finishing-a-standing-height-desk-part-2-walnut-with-a-tung-oil-varnish-polish/ Here's Part 2 of 2 on this series of Finishing a Standing Height Desk. While it has a modern, urban kind of look, this video series focuses on how I accomplished the finish. This part walks you through how I applied and polished a tung oil varnish on a solid walnut desk top. It's a pretty easy finish to apply, as in it's not complicated, but it does require some time. But in the end it produces a gorgeous hand-rubbed appearance but with a good, hard protective coating. On walnut, it especially looks exquisite, too. Enjoy!
