Default One half done!

I didn't know you could do that. It doesn't get too hard?


Hard as woodpecker lips. Like George said, too, an uneven application
will tend to look blotchy. I find that using polyurethane for my finish
coat tends to conceal the CA -- probably because the poly is also
absorbed into the wood. But that's just a guess. I DO know that a
straight oil finish (no varnish) looks pretty bad but I have gotten good
results with poly over CA on a number of items.

Hmm ... might even just keep turning until it's fully roughed in and
then fill the voids with Inlace (which I do NOT sell) or epoxy with a
metal powder added.

When you look at things from the perspective of "how do I take advantage
of this situation" ... doors start to open.
