Title: Cross
Post by: wha on July 20, 2011, 04:46:18 pm

I made this cross from 1/2 Maple. Cut using FD-UR #3 and FD-UR #5.
Not sure if I should leave as is or stain it.

I've never used BLO before I'll have to give it a try and see how it turns out.
Thanks all.

Beautiful Cross...

BLO and Mineral Spirits...50/50 let it soak and then set it up to dry and wipe off any excess.

Go for it...it should really dress it up.

After the oil dries, top coat with lacquer or poly or acrylic. I like to us semi gloss or satin.

Excellent Cutting and a totally natural color  is probably best.  Thanks for sharing it with us.
