Letters

it believed it was finished with a polyurethane or varnish. This process is fast and simple and requires less time for the entire process than the drying time of most polyurethane finishes. By the way I never use stain on these projects; time does it best.

Perhaps if Mr. Flexner has the time he can stop by The Woodworkers Shop in Pekin, Ill., some Saturday and I can teach him how to handle these "challenging" woods.

Larry Kruzan via the internet

I agree that pine isn't often classified as a tight-grained wood because it's a soft wood, and we're usually talking about hardwoods in woodworking. But if you think of oak, ash, mahogany and walnut as open-grained woods because they have a very distinctive grain (meaningpore depressions in the wood) it makes sense that pine would be the opposite because it also has no discern-able pores in its surface.

Perhaps a better term is "closed-grained" or "closed-pored" - instead of "tight grained." Another problem is the definition itself. We woodworkers often refer to the color differences in pine as "grain," but aren't these differences closer to the color differences in cherry, which we refer to as "figure" than to the "grain" differences in oak? "Figure" would actually be the better word to describe what's going on in pine, though that term is rarely used.

Concerning the gloss you get, I would suspect that it is created by the wax you put on top of the oil-sealed surface. What does the oiled wood look like before you apply the wax? If it looked like you wanted it to, then I doubt you'd apply the wax. Of course what looks nice to each of us is purely subjective. PW
