Wood refinish on a Steel Shot Special

[B. Dudley]

I get asked a lot about “what kind of finish I use”. I normally do not like to answer this. Not because it is any sort of secret. But because it is a very loaded question because every job is different and processes/products can vary depending on the desired outcome.

But, I will address it here on this particular repro. Just because there seems to be so much interest and distain around it.

I had to think back and remember what I did here on this one.

I first used clear Dalys ship & shore teak oil sealer. (Normally I add alkanet root to my sealer, but with this one I felt it did not need it). First penetrating coats followed by wet sanding coats.
Then it is finished with pro custom oil aerosol spray.

That is it. Nothing special or secretive. Period.
