Thanks Scott, theyre all smooth, I just wasn't sure if doing it by hand would give me the same results as a ROS. (I'm just learning all this!)

Thanks!
If I wanted to use Micromesh and MO on a cane handle (nothing but curves) to get a glossy finish on Behlens Rock Hard, can I do it by hand? Nothing I know of would be small/flex enough to fit the...
Thanks Steve, turns out I am Stingy AND Crafty!

Quick question related to preserving my quart of Behlens Rock Hard as long as possible:
I am getting ready to do several cane handles (small projects) over the next few months. I did a search on...
Hah! Bemoans! I guess my wife's Ipad doesn't think that Behlens is a good product, and tried to throw my text off!
Looks like I need to browse over to Rockler - thanks again everyone!
Thanks for all the info everyone! I am sure glad that I asked before I started finishing the next one! Sounds like I need to get ahold of some bemoans rock hard? These are definitely "users" and...
It's actually Minwax brand. So Behlen would be a good, durable finish? Would I be able to get a good gloss? Thanks for the advice!

Someone south of Portland OR has a 48" dia tree that...
Good point! I love the Chestnut, but I have to keep the missus agreeable as well!
See, here's the thing - They grow out here on the west coast. I am reasonably confident that they are American Chestnut, I've talked to a lot of folks who concur (I haven't sent a leaf and twig...
It was alive. I have never seen a dead one still standing?
I don't know, it was real wet when we fell it and milled it, quite a bit lighter now.
I was planning to sticker it in a single stack under the bed (or somewhere else), not worried about air...
I have some Chestnut that was milled about three weeks ago. It consists of 10 12' 1X12", and is currently stickered in my garage attic (unheated), with a fan running on it.
I would like to...
Well Brian, perhaps you want to joint the family?
