Hello, I'm finishing up my house and I'm looking for the best way to stain oak moulding aNd solid 6 panel oak doors.
For my wood ceiling,I followed these steps by jw from Indy ....
http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f8/how-finish-knotty-pine-tongue-groove-14963/
.......And my pine turned out awesome. But that was a softer wood and I'm not sure of the prep that needs done to make this oak look sharp
For this project I do have the following available to me
For my stain color of choice, I'm going to be using min wax golden oak stain
I have some zinsser seal coat universal sanding sealer
I also have general finishes "satin" poly acrylic water based topcoat
What steps did you use on your oak? I've read a little about sanding oak and I'm not sure how fine to go
Should I use the diluted zinsser sanding sealer? Does oak even need the sanding sealer like pine does?
What steps do you use to get a professional finish?
Any help, links, or opinions would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank you
