Hello all. I am entering the process of finishing our new bed my wife and I had built. I have searched around the site to see what is the best finish for our needs. Considering the fact that we want a natural appearance to darken over time (NO stain) and for it to actually feel and look like real wood (satin finish, no gloss) it seems that BLO is the ticket. We don't want a yellowish appearance, so I am afraid to try a shellac over the BLO. We have a dachshund, so a very durable top coat would be ideal. I am looking for the solution for a natural, simple finish that will last.
and could you specify what the 'borg is?
Thanks in advance!
