Wood was delivered within a week of ordering. The pieces were straight with no bends or cupping. However, they sent me pieces that were 2 different colors, some looked like White Oak, the rest looked like Red Oak I ordered red. Also, the wood had marks all over them, and the end cuts they made were not square! There was enough extra material included to rectify these, but overall I am unhappy with the pieces and will likely not purchase again. I can get similar quality from a big box store, but I least I can look at the lumber before I buy. I expected better quality - totally disappointed.

A fellow woodworker told me about WATCO Danish Oil and all of its benefits. I gave it a shot on my first night stand project with cherry. I was really happy with how easy it was to apply and manage. I applied a total of 4 coats, allowed each to dry with #0000 steel wool in between coats. Really great non-streak, non-blotchy finish. The photo above is the final product. It should also be stated that I applied a coat of satin poly, followed by a light misting of semi-gloss poly spray. I then finished it off with paste wax. I'm new at this game and probably could have gotten away with a less-intensive series of coats after the Danish Oil, but was really pleased with the end result. I would certainly recommend Danish Oil to anyone looking for an easy, mess-free, hassle-free finish.
