Apologies if you're aware of this already, but be very careful with any rags/paper towels/etc that you might use when applying oil finishes. Make sure you dry them out thoroughly before you throw them aware. Definitely DO NOT just screw up wet rags and throw them in the bin. There are multiple instances of them spontaneously combustion 8 or so hours later.Question for the woodworkers.
I had our carpenter sand down our oak dining table. I gave it a rub with fine sandpaper and have applied three (maybe four) coats of Danish Oil. It looks lovely. However. There are areas of it where it feels like the grain has been raised by the oiling (or maybe my initial sanding was amiss). Can I just give the whole table another light sanding and apply more oil.
Also I sat a vase in the middle of the table too soon after applying the last coat and the vase base has made a circle impression that shows slightly lighter than the table. What to do…should the light rub down and further oiling of the table top as above be the most likely thing. Or is there something I could do before doing that. The impression is slight, hardly noticeable, and will often be covered by a mat so I‘m not into making a big deal of it if there is a risk of making it worse.
I always wondered how real this sort of thing was, but then one of the youtube channels I follow did this experiment.
