    First Project Post

    Wood is curly maple. I did Jeff Jewits "popping the grain" method using water based dye. Top coat is wipe on poly.

    Hard to beat curly maple!! This piece took me back a few years! Very nice representation of days gone by, and a cupboard filled with staples - well Snapple in this case!
