Scrollers,
I was thinking about trying BLO for the first time. I've read somewhere in a thread here that (at least) some use BLO to "pop" the grain and then top-coat with a lacquer or some other finish. After reading the BLO label, I don't understand the need for the top-coating. It sounds like the BLO would be complete in and of itself. Could someone explain why the top-coat?
Also, if using BLO on (eg) BB, maple or some other "white" wood, does it tint it any or will the wood stay white? If there is some yellowing, what would you recommend to use instead to keep the white shining through?
