LarryEA Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 You did a fantistic job. I admire your talent cutting this. As for the "no finish/finish"; The wood will darken with age especially unfinished. IMHO, lacquer would be the finish to keep it more the shade it is.....

smitty0312 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Fantastic work! That took a lot of patience.......I agree, a better wood choice would have taken it to the next level......but this still looks great!!

mikewix Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Paul you did a super job on the Eagle. As far as trying to bleach the walnut I say leave it as is, you can't get it any better then what ma nature gave you to start with, it looks great without a finish. What is the next project? always look forward to seeing your work. Mike Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsteve Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I have also wonder if black walnut can be bleached. I like the darkness as it is unfinished, but I know if I put BLO/MS on it it will turn twice as dark. I know because I saw how dark it was when I wiped it with MS just to clean the sawdust off. i believe there is a way to add a finish without darkening it. im sure i read it somewhere. ill do some digging and see what i find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
