I am looking for a Hardwax oil product that can give me a low luster wax appearance on my VG Douglas Fir floors. I used Pallmans Magic Oil on my Ipe flooring in the entry way that turned out beautiful. The would is a tropical wood, very dense and full of natural oils. It will buff to a nice luster with no finish.
When sampling the Pallman Product and Rubio Monocoat on the fir, the finish absorbs so much that the wood is left extremely dull.
I would like to know if there is a Hardwax oil that can give me a paste wax low luster look, or perhaps application advice. I know most of these finishes say not to sand past 120 grit for absorption reasons but all the discussions I have seen on this forum deal with Hard Wood that does not absorb like fir. Perhaps with a wood like fir it maybe better to sand to a finer grit to possibly achieve the look I am going for. More coats?
Any help on obtaining a low luster paste wax look on a Fir floor wood be appreciated. I am looking for luster not dead flat.
Thanks
Jim
