This is the first time I've tried ebonizing wood and I like it. I was going to raffle it off at a poker run but decided i like it on my wall. My wife thought it would look good on the garage wall............Ha

I showed a couple to some friends and I can't believe how many want one. I've done most SEC, a few Big10 and a couple pro.

Intarsia / Finishes

« on: December 27, 2011, 07:42:26 am »

I am putting a finish on my first intarsia using tung oil. I put on a coat of sealer first but it seems the oil is just soaking into the wood. Am i just being impatient or should keep adding oil? Any suggestion?
