Professional furniture maker Andy Rae shares one of his favorite finishing recipes in this video. Watch as he demonstrates how to mix and apply a wipe-on oil/varnish top coat to a cherry chest of drawers.

The mixture is applied after applying several coats of penatrating wiping varnish, such as Waterlox. It creates a durable and smooth finish on furniture by filling the open pores in the previous coats. Rae also shares some useful finishing tips and techniques that can be applied to any project.
