I learnt to carve spoons from a few Swedish guys so I have a lot of love for a simple linseed-oil finish :) Can't get any nice, bright, linseed-oil paint in the UK though, which is a bit of a bummer. I ended up using stain for this current project as the room called for dark wood, but the only two real-wood options for skirting boards in the UK are pine or oak, which are both light woods, so I opted to stain pine for it. And thank you! Someone at work mentioned his videos recently and I completely forgot the name.

+1 for Paul Sellers. He's a bunch of content on finishing too and I've just tried his combo of shellac + beeswax to finish pine and it works fantastically and is cheap. Also, not youtube, but https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/ https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/ is a great uk online resource, including this thread https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/timber-yards-wip-add-your-favourites-t108370.html https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/timber-yards-wip-add-you... on sourcing timber
