Tru oil vs French polish - Peter Tremblay - 05-02-2018
Hello all,
I'm working on making some hand planes (that's my project this summer) and I know that the traditional finish is a french polish.
I'd rather find a finish that give a similar look but with greater protection and easier to apply.
I was thinking about Tru oil.
This will be going onto very oily exotic wood.
Any thoughts?

If were finishing exotic oily wood not sure Tru-Oil would be my first choice after looking at section 3 of MSDS!

Thank you very much for that.
I guess shellac it'll be.
