After gluing up and planing and sanding this panel for a lid, I noticed the outside 9" (3 boards) are quite a bit darker than the rest of the lid. I'm planning on using waterlox on the top of the lid and shellac on the inside of the ( same as I did on the chest). What would be the best way to keep the lid uniform in color?
And also on the other side of the lid are 2 uniform crossgrain streaks 4" apart, that no matter what I do, I can't get rid of them. I've tried handplane, scraper, and 60 grit sandpaper.
Thanks for any input!!
Jim
