vykus Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I have been reading a new book called "the Furniture Bible" and it talked a lot about different finishes and effects that are used on furniture. I had a thought to create one of these finishes on panel and then cut it. You could not do it after cutting due to burnishing or extensive polishing. I was wondering if anyone has attempted this or something similar. If so, what were the results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhudson Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I often use hardwood plywood in cabinet work. I like to apply finish (3 coats of poly acrylic) to the full size sheet(s) (4' x 8') before cutting it (them) down into the component parts. It works quite well for those interior pieces of cabinetry. I've never tried this for any scroll project but a couple of thoughts. Many scroll projects are one sided any tear-out would be on the back side. I think the type of finish you are considering will be an important factor. I think you should try it on a couple of smaller projects and see - then share the knowledge with you closest friends on SSV. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
