Building a display case for a good friend for his knife collection.
Cedar he supplied. To be finished with clear poly. Anything special I need to do to cedar before applying the poly? |

Cedar can be a bunch of different woods. Who knows what you have? Some cedar doesn't let some finishes cure particularly quickly. DAMHIKT. Test on scrap. Patriarch |

Testing on scrap is always good advice. If there appears to be a problem with the oil in the cedar letting the finish cure, try a coat of ultra blond shellac as a sealer on the cedar. It will darken the cedar a bit and add just a hint of yellow, but nothing you could not live with. Since shellac is the universal bonding agent, the poly will have no problems going on over the shellac. Deb |

Cedar, yeah I would guess it had better be sealed up.
I don't think he wants to keep them in a humidor. Just my initial thought. Does he like mahogany? John BumHead wrote: Building a display case for a good friend for his knife collection.
