Dak0ta52 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Very good, Eric. Do you plan on finishing the project with paint or stain? I tip my hat to Steve Good for being kind enough to share his patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the raw wood but in this case, it seems the stain is appropriate, maybe clear oak or colorless stain but no paint.

FrankEV Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 A natural stain will richen the natural wood color, or just use a clear lacquer or poly coating. A clear coating will just brighten the wood a little. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Very nice Eric. I like a little colour, but in this case I think a couple of coats of clear would make it pop. If you decide to use a stain, make sure that it is sanded really well with no scratches as stain will show up every little fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 That is lovely. I would make two, one colored and one clear coated. I am a Libra, can never make up my mind. Marg Foxfold and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric67 Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hello Thanks for your advice. I'm still not decided. Difficult choice! Maybe two colors, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb.j.enders Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 I made that one years ago for my niece. I used a darker stain on it. Not sure that I have a picture of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Steve Good used to use lemon oil on a lot of his first patterns. He just dipped them in the oil and dried them off. It brings out the color of the wood really well and it is so easy to do. This method does not really put an long lasting result, as the oil eventually dissipates, but it can be redone about anytime it is needed. Just a thought.
