one VERY STRONG recommendation: Don't treat a project that you are
proud of as a test piece for finishing. If you want to try out some
of these other finishes (and I think I will), do it on shop furniture,
or other items what you will not be upset about if they don't turn
out. Use what you know on a major project.

Right on.

It's not like there's ever ZERO scrap. G
