That redwood has totally popped Does this mean youre going for laquer rather than oil finish?[/quote] I might as well answer that one Yeah, it was an obvious choice after working with the Redwood that an oil/wax finish wouldn't provide a tough enough finish, so I'm using Rustin's Plastic Coating instead.
