Watco

Q: Would this be good on sanded oak desk? Will it need primer to prevent uneven absorption due to different pore size?

Danish oil is a great product I have used it for years. The natural finish looks great on Oak. You should follow the directions carefully. All the old finish must be removed from the wood. If the wood was not previously finished it will go on smooth without any primer. Flood the surface of the wood and allow it to stand for 20 min. then wipe off the excess. Then repeat this process. It soaks in at different rates. I like to keep going over it to ensure that all the wood is equally moist during the 20 min period. When you wipe off the excess wipe it down good so that all the finish looks even. Let dry overnight before handling and you will have a beautiful streak free oil finish. If you let the wood dry for 72 hours you can then put a lacquer or polyurethane finish over the oil.

Q: I am planning on using this on a guitar fingerboard made of ebony (black wood), but I think the wood is stained. Will this oil work on stained wood?

Ebony and black wood are very different woods. African Blackwood is in the rosewood family and loaded with natural oils. Ebony typically has less natural oil. Both are very fun to work with my favorite the rosewood family as it doesn't splinter and machines easier for me. I have used watco on both. Due to the density of both the watco doesn't penetrate much but it should work fine. Try light sanding with 320 or finer grit to see if stain comes off as again due to density of the wood it is likely the stain doesn't go very deep. Try and keep to very fine sandpaper to avoid scratching.

Q: Can this be used on already installed raw cedar paneling. It isn't smooth, but has raised wood grain.

Yes, but you'll want to go over the paneling with some 220-400 grit sandpaper first, to knock down any rough spots. Remember to run a vaccum over it to get any dust, before adding the danish oil.

Q: Would this be good on aspen? Making a lamp with some Aspen that I picked up.

Do not know. I used it on some light colored black walnut and it brought out the beauty of the wood grains. I am very pleased with the results.
