Finish sanded wood (lye & soap)

Soap finishes for sanded wood are a Scandinavian import that are best suited for softwood floors once prepared with Lye. An option for oak furnishings is listed, but we don't encourage soap for oak floors. This is the lowest cost finishing option and the easiest to carry through. The downside is that soap takes time to harden into the wood surface and success relies on ongoing and regular soap cleaning.
