Well I have been playing at checkering on some scrap wood. We shall see how that goes.
Have the stocks fully stripped finally, that took forever to get off, and have sanded them down to 600 grit.
Now trying out the finishes on some walnut boards we cut, plained/joinered, and sanded.
Only one coat so far, but left to right its Waterlux, Permalyn Finish, Permalyn sealer, Ben Matte, Fornby's tung oil.
Just one coat so we shall see how they look after some other coats. Permalyn sealer is definitely the thinnest, as I would expect and Ben Matte appears to be the thickest and darkest. Will see what my experimenting finds before I finish them.
