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...

Gorgeous wood, but I don't know what to put on it to keep...

I've been looking around online for some "Ethiopian" acacia, I have seen it called "Grar". My wife and I are in the process of adopting from ET, and I would LOVE to make some small project with...

No problem Ron, I was a little freaked out when I started looking around on the internet - thought I'd stumbled upon the "last of the breed"!

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?
