rdatelle Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just finished these two pieces a little while ago. Had some 1/2 inch pieces hanging around. One is walnut and the other is maple with 1/2 B/B backer. Got this pattern from Sue Mey. A friend of mine has a couple of horses so I thought I would surprise her with these. There about 7 1/2 x 7 1/2. I used a #3 Pegus blade on this with no problem cutting. I have a coat of Watco Danish Oil on them. Not sure if I should give them a couple of coats of Poly or leave them like they are. Hope she likes them.

Scrappile Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Very well done! I always put a coat of something over BLO/MS, Tung , danish, or any oil finish because it makes it easier to clean, get the dust off. My go to is Deft simi-gloss because it is durable, easy to apply, dries quickly and does not change the color like other finishes.

rdatelle Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Your right Paul, I usually put some poly over it but she liked it the way it was and I don't have to dust it. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
