However, boiled linseed oil will work wonderfully in the Curley Maple. Mix the boiled linseed oil with pure gum turpentine at a 50/50 ratio. This thins the linseed oil out so it can penetrate deeper into the wood revealing the natural beauty of the wood. You might want to give it a top coat of Shellac when done.</p> <p>chad stanton- forum moderator</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://americanwoodworker.com/forums/thread/38375.aspxMon, 17 Sep 2012 21:53:13 GMTf5d4cb8b-9fb3-4c0a-bdc0-3814c4db8d93:38375Terry Greer0http://americanwoodworker.com/forums/thread/38375.aspxhttp://americanwoodworker.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=2416&PostID=38375<p>I have made my granddaughter a jewelry box of Ambrosia Maple and Curley Maple any suggestion of how to finish this project.&nbsp; I&#39;m thinking boiled linseed oil.&nbsp; I have never used Ambrosia Maple before so I am certainly open to suggestions.</p> <p>The top is maple, sides and fronts of drawers are cherry .
