Post by agingcrossbower »

This is Sew's stock and I am putting the first of many coats on the stock. The first coat you can almost hear that wood drinking. Look at that wood pop. :D

This is really cool. The finish All goes into the wood making the wood surface harder and the finish lasts longer. 90% or more goes into the wood and the rest I wet sand that is on the surface. It takes a good six coats before it stops going into the wood and stays on the surface. Here is what it looks like now. Drank it right up.
