Here is a project I have been working on all week. The work is slow and frustrating as the wood is being extremely difficult. The wood appears to be soft but dulls my skew quickly.
I finally found a use for the CA slurry method you have all been talking about though I used it very sparingly. Since I had small chips to repair in almost every blank I extended a light coat of thin CA to the entire blank then sanded until it was almost gone. Finished with Behlen's Woodturner Seal and HUT Crystal Coat to get a good shine that is really smooth to the touch but doesn't look plastic coated.
Rifleman says he has cedar he might trade or sell and I may have some blanks when I finally finish this project. The more wildly grained and twisted stuff may need to be stabilized to preclude the fun I'm having.
Wood is extremely old!
P.S. Didn't mean to turn this into an ad as I'm not through making sawdust out of this myself yet!!
