I finally got my computer back, but its in the process of being restored, so posts and pictures on alternate computers for a bit longer.
I decided on a sanded in Danish oil finish (thanks for the suggestion Tico).
Which one do you like best?
With out dye stain on the left, with on the right.
Yes, I haven’t been posting much .. cuz my hard drive crashed and my computer is being repaired. But I snagged a computer and wanted to post an update on the Jewelry Box that I’m making for my niece’s high school graduation welcome to college present. Next step, saw the top off (probably on the table saw and finished up with a hand saw) and install hinges. BTW, box is made of quarter sawn walnut with a cherry panel top.
So .. as if I didn’t have enough projects going on .. I’m also planning on building the next Wood Whisperer Guild project – the Morris Chair. It’ll be a while before I get to it, but I wanted to get the wood in my shop so it would be ready when I am. Marc at the Wood Whisperer has teamed up with Bell Forest Lumber to provide kits for the project.
Check out the nice figured cherry that came in the mail from Bell Forest. Can’t wait to get started. 🙂
