Worked with a friend to design this white oak vanity for their bathroom remodel. They wanted an open vanity with baskets for storage. The turned legs was my excuse to learn to use the skew. The skew is a tricky, but powerful tool!

I know this must be a basic question but some cursory searching here and /finish hasn’t yield any specific results:

I hear coconut oil is better then linseed but I’m not sure if that’s wood dependent.
