Re: Wood oil on nice speakers (Spendor, etc)?

don't use watco or tung oil or similar oil/varnish finish - they can leave a permanently sticky residue and interact with what the wood is already finished with. some just use a lemon oil but a better way is Howard Restor-A-Shine Polishing Compound and then their Burnishing Cream for a really nice finish. You can also just use a good paste wax like Moser, Brewax, etc. as a last step or just use it instead of the liquids - you can get the wax in a color to match the wood which will take care of the scratch. Avoid the silicones. If you don't like high gloss use 0000 steel oil for applying and polishing for a more satin finish - otherwise a soft cloth works well.
