Preparation:
Best applied to bare wood. It is advisable to test the oil on an offcut before applying to your work. Shake the bottle well before use. Sand down with the grain to 600 grit. Raise the grain with a damp cloth and allow to dry, this can be speeded up by using a hairdryer. Some woods such as walnut will need the grain raising more than once. Sand to 800 grit.
Application:
Best applied with a lint free cloth in a dry environment. Apply the first coat of oil liberally, allowing it to penetrate deeply into the wood. Re-coat the oil every 15 minutes until the wood stays wet after the 15-minute absorbency period. On average 4 coats at 15-minute intervals should be sufficient, but this will depend upon the absorbency of the wood (Walnut for example may take about 6 coats.) Allow to stand for 1 hour. Using a paper towel remove all surplus oil and buff the wood until dry. For a hand rubbed finish you can rub the oil in using the palm of your hand or fingers after removing the excess with the paper towel. This will create a slightly dull finish at first but will fill the grain in quicker producing a flatter finish. Allow to dry for 48 hours. (Oily woods e.g. Rosewood will require a longer drying period.) Note: This is optional but at this point the wood can be wet sanded using 600 grit wet or dry, creating a slurry to fill the grain. De-nib the wood using 0000 steel wool or an equivalent abrasive pad. Apply a thin coat of oil and allow to stand for 1 hour before removing the excess once more with a paper towel. Allow to dry for 24 hours. Repeat the de-nibbing process and application of a thin coat of oil (as above) a further 2 times, allowing a 24-hour drying period between each application. The timber should now be sealed. However, should you wish to increase the lustre of your piece further thin coats of oil can be applied to suit. Only a 30-minute standing time is now required before buffing off, but still leave 24 hours drying time between each coat. After the final application of oil allow to harden for 1-2 weeks.
Maintenance:
Finish can be maintained using a thin coat of Peacock Oil or a hard wax as required.
