ok..yet another dumb question from the new guy..
long story short...scales are from 100+ year old oak flooring, making for Amish neighbor for heirloom reasons...the wood is hard and dry..about what you would expect from old flooring...also light in color...I don't like it
when last they saw it of course it had varnish and yellowing wax etc built up on it ans so forth... but now that it's been worked down...I just don't like it..I know that it's not for me..but I don't want to turn out something I am not happy with... and I am afraid looks wise..after a while...it will look dirty and dingy etc.....
my plan was to sand up to 400 on the belt..then hand sand to 1500 or so...then take it to the buffer,, and maybe just wax.....but now I am asking what's my options...what is available for a new guy with a limited skill set..
tung oil? linseed? tru oil? wood stain...
what works well for scales?
thanks in advance guys!
