another finishing question.

[man-in-moon]

if i can get the stain off the top i am thinking about just leaving it natural. what would be the best thing to put on it to protect it? there is a lot of moisture and humidity here so i need something that makes a good hard seal. i have already checked and most of the places want $200 and up to just clear coat it. so i figure i might can do it my self. i want to try to avoid rattle cans if i can. because of the moisture and humidity unless you have a controlled room or booth. the rattle cans always tend to turn out cloudy.

Its all about how you do it. Spray can's can be bad with inexperienced users, but can be great, they're just hard to make great.

$200 is pretty steep, far too steep.

Gotta figure out if you want Nitro or poly for the finish as well!

check out www.reranch.com and the basic refinishing/101 page, should help you out a bit!

Re: another finishing question.

i have been thinking about it most of the day i may just put a grain sealer on it and then put some tru oil on it. i am not sure yet. if i can get all of the stain off i think it will have a pretty nice flame on it. my next thing to research is neck mounting screws. it has a contoured heel and is set up to use the ferrules instead of a neck plate. which is a first for me.
