Hey all. I recently posted a pair of TV trays where I replaced the old tops with a Mahogany Butcher Block tops.
I sanded them to 220 and applied Odies Oil as suggested (sparingly with a non woven pad) and after it sat, I buffed off the excess with a rag, continuously swapping to a clean side. I then let it sit for 24 hours before using Odies Wax applying it the same way as the oil.
After 24 hours I bought them from my shop to the house.
After a week of use there are spots all over it that look like it’s been oiled but the surface is rough and it looks like it’s “dry” but you can only see it in raking light.
At first I thought it was just “dry spots” but as this is a butcher block style top, the spots are over multiple species of Mahogany not just happening on certain species.
I have attached a couple photos (one that’s been marked up so you can see where the issues are.)
Hopefully someone has run into this and can explain what I did wrong.
Thanks in advance.
