Hey guys, Im pretty new to this and have a couple questions. I recently finished building a bookshelf out of those wooden crates you can find at the big box stores. Unknown soft wood. I stacked 8 of them and glued and nailed them fairly well. I also made a base out of 2x4s for stability. I then used a vinegar/steel wool stain.
My foncerns come upon the finishing process. My research led me to Waterlox sealer/finisher. It supposedly penetrates the wood and gives it a durable hard finish. So far i have 2 brushed coats and one wiped on. Is this enough? And are there any additional steps to take once this last coat dries (sanding, buffing etc)?
The pic is the only one i have of the project so far. It was right after the stain process.
