The dusk mask has been a must....I have a chest infection...so no mask no breathe....anyway.
I got at her again today.....sanded through 240 grit all over....then the timbermate fight.
I tried all three I have...baltic...walnut and ebony on a scrap of pine.....dried it...sanded with 240. Hmmmm.....the walnut was my winner.
Yes I know it is going under BLUE, but the walnut is dark enough to give the grain a leg up...but not as black as the residue of the ebony...looked like fly crap in the hollows.
Done for today.....shower....and off to watch the State of Origin Rugby League game tonight...sadly not at the ground....mates place.
Tomorrow....raise the grain and sand with 320 three times....then two coats of sanding sealer to even the colour when the stain goes on.....dry....until the day after....or whenever...for colour. Loving this.
