QUOTE(brapa? @ Nov 4 2018, 01:34 AM) wah, i did googling & there r people really polishing the wood & poly yea.. really hardcore when these people do polishing. thats how u get the piano gloss black paint effect on top of wood.its amazing the effect i m ordering a darkish hardwood thinking maybe wont go that far since the poly will scratch as i use as a bench i have some butchers block oil thinking of polish the bench with this oil is it possible ? yea poly will scratch, thats why i prefer matte/satin finish, more easy to maintain and i thin it looks way better on wood (cos once gloss is scratched, it wont look so good) butcher block oil..lol. it will give u the matte look not gloss. cos it will dry to the touch after 1 day..basically u got the wooden chopping block look and it aint glossy ma. |
