johnphilip Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 If you want the aged look . Have a read up on Briwax . Hard work but the results can be amazing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard work but the results can be amazing . That’s what I’ve used ,thinking it needs buffing more or maybe another coat too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 A few coats , plenty of buffing it will start to have some depth to it . A word of warning use it in a well ventilated area . Please read up on that bit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnphilip Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Rub and rub , it should feel hard at first to get the cloth moving then it gets easier Here is a coffee table I re veneers about 20 years ago redid all the top . I briwaxed that all them years ago . It looked amazing when I first did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
