Default On finials and lids

you may wish to eschew polyurethanes - they don't feel right (at least to
me) - lacquer or just oil, and carnuba wax has a much nicer feel - urethanes
are kinda soft and sticky feeling (again, my opinion, ymmv)




I just turned one of box elder with a jatoba base and lid / box elder
finial LOTSARED!

I really like this one. I'm thinking of coating it with satin polyurethane
once the oil (walnut) has had a chance to cure. But I'm not sure I want to
sell this one ... it's the pick of the litter so far.
