Tom, some of my favorite projects are Arm-R-Seal over walnut. I haven’t worked with cherry yet. Something like Odie’s Oil that Barb likes would be even easier to use.
Barb, I bet you’re right. I should gone to a local store and read the instructions on the spray can. Spraying it would have been much easier. I don’t own a sprayer to do the kind of finishing Splint mentioned.
Splint, what section of the stores has these one gallon cans of “alcohol,” and what kind of alcohol is it? I’ve read that some places sell denatured alcohol as camping stove fuel. I’ve also read that Everclear from the liquor store is usable with shellac.
It would be great to set aside the time (and money) to get proficient with all the different finishing techniques. I always learning in the context of specific projects, where I’m willing to run a few tests, but my focus is on finishing the project.
