Most folks think wood finishing is tricky business, but I like to keep things easy in my woodworking shop and I use this same three part oil wood finish on almost every piece I build. This easy to make wood finish recipe is also easy to make and apply, and dries quickly allowing multiple coats. This method requires the least prep work (goodbye sanding) and is also unbelievably easy to repair, fix any scratch or dent in your furniture finished with this same oil, and all you have to do is scuff the surrounding area and wipe on more finish. You also don’t need a whole bunch of other finishing supplies for this method, no spray booth, no special finishing room, you just dust off your bench and wipe it on. Even the fumes of this finish are very mild! Because this has been my favorite wood finish for so many years of projects, it’s the best wood finish I can recommend. Also, you get a sneak peak of my upcoming democratic chair build!

  1. HEY! YOU! We are running a SALE for 15% off everything in my web store- merch, plans, etc. Use discount code FARMFRIEND for a 15% discount until May 27!

  2. Cool chair and recipe. I "discovered" nearly the same thing a few years ago quite by accident. A really hot day using Helmsman on an outdoor project. I could see the poly started kicking off before flowing out, not a good look. My mind immediately when to all the sanding required to fix it. So I thought why not either way I have to fix it, so I wiped the whole piece down with a rag soaked in mineral spirits and crossed my fingers. Next day it looked like glass! Not a single defect to be found. I don't really care for the full on glass poly look but in this case I was really happy to not be redoing! I'll give this recipe a try next time.

  5. Question Anne, with using the boiled linseed, doesn't one have to worry about the rag combusting if not properly cared for or discarded? they heat up while drying, and will spontaneously combust, if just left lying around, right?

  6. I came across this formula some years ago. Then lost it. Now, thanks to you Anne – I have it again just as I am starting on my 3' x 7' wood slab kitchen island top. Can't wait to see the results!!

  7. Anne, I love your channel, but you've got to get a new adjective other than super. If we played one of those "say-the-word" drinking games with this video, we'd be drunk in less than 8 minutes. That's a lot of supers…

  8. Every time I watch one of your video productions I come away inspired! This one made me want to go out to my garage shop & put some finish on some wood! Keep up the great work & instruction Anne. Now on to the baby chicks video

  9. Thanks Anne. I can’t wait to try this. Sometimes the simplest things are the best! I have all 3 parts, but the urethane I have it water based. Do I need to purchase the oil based version?
