Here is one of my current projects that is not on my honey do list at
the same time.

I am almost ready to apply some type of finish, but am undecided on what
to use. Nitrocel laquer has been suggested by several friends, but I
have never used it.

I want the natural beauty and grain of the wood to show, so I am
considering an airbrush of black or brown around the edge and leave the
center areas a clear or yellowish tinted clear coat. Sort of the
traditional "tobacco sunburst" finish.

I think this is ash so suggestions on if I should put sealers or
whatever before stains, etc. would be helpful
