jbw55 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Since finishing up the reno on the living room I thought our Grand Piano could use a bit of TLC also.....I started off with Howard's Restor-A -Finish, this stuff is great, really brings the color back to wood and easy to apply. Use of some 0000# steelwool together with the restor-a-finish works nicely also. Next I used Minwax Wipe on Poly, another easy product to use, I took one of those plastic cut in tools for painting and wraped a blue paper shop towel around it.....just pour a bit on it and wipe with the grain and your done. Last I gave it a coat of Howard's lemon oil. I'm thrilled how it all turned out considering the Piano is 90 years old.....now good for another 90 years LOL. 3
jbw55 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Posted September 12, 2015 Yes it did thanks....it was in fairly good shape before but a little work brought back its nice wood tone. I give the credit to the Howard products there great and really easy to use, highly recommended if you have anything wood that needs a bit of life put back into it.
Bigmikez Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 Wow Man U did I a great job there!
WigWagWorkshop Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 Absolutely Stunning! Me being a woodworker, me least favorite thing to do is the finishing, it's like one has to be a mad scientist to figure it all out LOL. I do love the sanding process thought. however, I know the majority of woodworkers absolutely hate it lol. I have a ton of books and articles on doing finishes, there are so many options. -Steven
