As a piano technician I have never charged for refinishing, but have had occasion tp finish a few of my own grands for resale. Tried laqure once, toxic stuff. Tried varnish a few times, takes lots of coats. My question concerns Danish oil, tung oil and the like. I currently have a mahogany baby Hientzmn grand that is stripped and now stained;looking very good as is, but now requires finish coat(s). Ive used danish oil on a few things items around the house & they look good. Does anyone have an opinion on doing this to a piano. Advantages are it is one step, easy, natural wood, and easily uniform. On the other hand perhaps it really needs to be sealed up with something more substantial. And there may be other factors here I am not thinking of. Thinking about it, any objections will be take seriously.
