Thanks for all the nice comments. It means a lot coming from the craftsmen (women too) that we have here.
The finish was a long one, actually more that one [
] I sanded it back down after finishing once and not being satisfied. So I started the second one with cellulose sealer, then CA, of course MM all the way, then TSW, and Ren wax to top it off. I have to say it is one of my best pieces to date. Oh BTW I sold it already too [
]. I have a little interest in my buckeye burl from my other post too, so maybe it'll be a good friday.
