Re: Finishing Bed Wood with oil: Does it last, Let's just see

No sir. Sorry for the delayed response; and the wood looks the same right now. If you look at the Mar-k test they define only the painted wood as not failing. But if you look at mine now 1.5 years the finish is no where near failing. I believe my bed wood will still be structurally sound in twenty years. And I don't believe it's possible for it to fail as a finish... but only in failure to reapply as needed. And, no need to strip and sand and gag on dust to reapply, just slop on more! That said, the wood will still patina! My wood will not look preserved in twenty years, but it should still be structurally sound.
