Laser Engraving
Im a HUGE fan of XTOOL Laser Engravers. I use an D1 Pro in my shop and it's been one of the best tool investments I've made. I would be grateful if you shopped for your XTOOL Laser Engraver through my affiliate link: www.xtool.com/?
Hi Derek, thank you for doing this for us. I have to admit. I have all those products but never thought of doing such a thorough comparison . Sometimes it’s worth taking the extra step. The tung oil penetrates deep into the wood giving it more protection from inside ( keeping the wood from warping from moisture changes in outside environment). Tung oil also dries and cures to a harder finish protecting from scratches. The wax finish will give it depth ( as an oil finish looks pretty matte), a beautiful shine and also adds extra protection as carnauba is a very hard wax. The wax will lock in the oil and keeps the finish looking nice for longer.
I enjoyed this little experiment. I’ve not used Tung Oil before so it was interesting to see how it behaved with the different woods. I do like how it penetrated. I was impressed, actually. That final step using your Carnauba Wood Finish & Polish added that little extra something. Thanks for creating your amazing finishes and for following along!
Grest experiment ❤
Really enjoyed this video!! It depends on what kind of wood is used for a specific project. But I like the 3 steps versus the 1 because as you stated in your video the extra steps makes the colors pop more.
Thank you Mark! Much appreciated!
