So its basically a lock miter joint? Sorry for all the questions

would that be feasible on an 4' + miter joint? I know its a strong joint and I see them on shorter runs (i.e. frames). I think it would definitely add to the aesthetic appeal. Thanks Ken

Biscuits make complete sense. Thanks for the input guys. I assume that would be the best solution, right?

Im building Walnut columns for a home theater. I am trying to build something just like this: http://elitetrimworks.com/Square-Column-in-Red-Oak-Cherry-Maple.html

My question is this - how do I...

I watched your video a few times, followed it to a "T" and my finish turned out really really well. I was pleasantly surprised. Great job on the instructions and thanks.

I was thinking of picking up a good round varnish brush for mouldings based on a little research, can anyone pass on some advice, if this is the route to go

I found success using medium brown transfast dye...just had to tweak it a bit, but was actually a whole lot easier than i expected. It will never be the air dried solid stock but it at least matches...

@ John....I used the pad and it worked so much better than the brushing.

@ Rich...I sanded it down and put my first coat of waterlox OSF on today and it looks great. I cannot stress the...

Ive started my finish schedule on the walnut veneer plywood. It calls for a coat of dewaxed orange shellac to warm it, then Im going with a few coats of waterlox OSF.

The problem is the pieces...

I'll give that a try on a test piece. Thanks

I have found some success with medium walnut transfast dye

Thanks, but Im afraid that Im 1500.00 in the hole for the plywood and the pieces I need for the soffits are way to big to use solid stock, unless I glue up multiple pieces. Im gonna start working...

I am just about ready to start the finish work on my private home cinema, ive spent the last 2 years engineering this room to the max (i.e. sound isolation, soundproofing, acoustic design, etc.) and...

The whole room will be finished that way, wainscoting, columns, coffered ceiling, etc. The project is a private home cinema with Walnut and Maple Burl. The waterlox is purely aesthetic. I tried...

Top coat will be 4-5 coats of waterlox.

I have never installed stain grade decorative millwork before and am wondering what is the best way to approach. I have several hundred feet of crown, chair, and base to install, all of it is...

I'll pass it on, thank you.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good finisher in the NE New Jersey / NYC area? The question was asked of me and I was hoping the knowledge here would know. Thanks.

Thanks Tom, that is really the type advice/guidance I was looking for. I have an average knowledge of wood finishing, however, I have worked with dangerous substances and chemicals for quite some...

I was really not sure what I would get out of using this chemical. That is the point of trying it, to see how it comes out on a test piece. From everything I have read, it really brings out the...

Im starting to experiment with Mahogany and PD. If I wanted to fill the grain, which I probably will, would I do that before or after the application of PD

Thanks guys. The solid build-up on the bottom is like a paste, I may be able to mix it back into the right consistency. However, avoiding the headache I just had Sherwin Williams send me a new...

I just picked up a gallon of grain filler from Sherwin Williams. The can must have been on the shelf for a long time, the dust was thick on top and there was at least a 2 inch thick paste solidified...

Great information Prashun. Thank you.

I'll try the waterlox tonight. Im fortunate enough to have a almost limited supply of super clear walnut; but still dont want to waste any of course

Prashun-

You nailed it. I am just trying to make it look great, with deep rich warm browns good walnut has. Im a rookie when it comes to finishing, so I am basically going to try processes...

Also, does anyone have a recommendation for an Oil-Based Glaze?
