Highly recommend this video on assorted treatments for bleaching and protecting various timbers. From walnut to poplar and all in between. #Wood is a never-ending source of wonder, as is a favoured #paint brand #osmo and their white wax and natural wax oils. https://youtu.be/kL9KVUfOkfg

The vid is full of excellent observations. The highlight for me though was when she holds up a disc of #abranet abrasive. That's a sign of a class operator in the woodwork world.
I could write a book on why abranet is such a game changer for #painters too.. Rather than bore you, just grab a few sheets for your next #painting project
