What Is The Best Way of Finishing the Acacia Wood?
It is always better to finish the acacia wood that will enhance its life and will give it an elegant look. The best way to finish the acacia wood is given below:

However using a pigmented finishing oil is better than clear oil, the reason is that pigmented oil gives protection against the UV which, in turn, ensures that the wood can be used for a long period of time.
