Q: I just finished my fifth Maloof style rocker and have not been happy with finishing results yet. On the latest I just applied my second coat of Danish finish. I followed the instructions and wiped both coats dry. I want more shine; what can I put on top of the oil?
A: You have several good options. You can continue with more coats of Danish oil, though it will take at least a dozen before you get any noticeable sheen. You can also switch to wipe on oil based varnish or polyurethane, which will be just as easy and will build a bit faster. Or, you can go to a brush on varnish or polyurethane for the quickest build and highest shine.

Gentle reminder: A modest donation to this finishing blog can keep it going to help others. Thanks!
