Hi All,
I thought I'd try my hand at posting a picture. This one is of a burial urn that I recently completed, I hope this works.
All the best

Looks good Gord. Nice job matching up the grain!

Is that Canarywood that you used to build this urn? Nice job.

Looks good Gord. Keep up the great looking work. Steve
That's nice work Gord! I like the wood, it has great coloration and grain. The Feet detail are real nice too. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Gord,
Very nice work. Question, you said you used 6 coats of poly and 2 coats of wax. Did you use tung oil or some sort of stain/dye before applying the poly? The color of the wood is very nice, something that I'd like to duplicate on an upcome bedroom set for myself.
Thanks,

Hi Craig,
Thanks for your kind words. I didn't use anything else except for wipe on poly. I was very fortunate when picking out the Canarywood, the first 10" board I grabbed was the one I used. I can't take credit for the color, it came that way, and in fact the picture doesn't do the material justice.
All the best
Gord

Hi Gord,
I guess this is the difference between sapwood and heartwood. I bought a small piece of canary wood today from Woodecraft that did not look anything like the wood that you used. That's why I asked about the coloring question. I imagime that if I wanted heartwood I'd have to pay twice as much per board foot as what Woodcraft had (6.50 bd ft).
