Kibler Woodsrunner Maple vs Cherry stock

<< < (8/8)

RobD:
I've done some research, there's a lotta good cherry wood stock finishing posts on ALR.  Finishes discussed have ranged from aniline dye, lye, iron nitrate, and nothing but clear coat only.

I'm gonna just finish with straight Tru-Oil, no staining of any kind, let it darken on its own by leaving it in sunlight.

RobD:
I've got some scrap cherry coming from Bree at Kibler's and I'll do some stain testing using lye, as Jim Kibler has suggested.

I picked up a jar of lye powder from amazon, guess I'll wait for you to play first with the scrap and check results! I purchasing a soft case and some jax black from them next week, will see If I can get Bree to send some my way also.
