Did I do something really dumb spraying poly on this piece of white pine? Four or five days later the knots are still tacky. The rest seems okay, but not the knots.
I picked up some white pine logs while my volunteer team was cleaning up after the ice storm in KY back in February/March. I was intrigued by the radial pattern of the limbs. I turned a piece of it green (and spent the next two months cleaning the gum off my tools and shop floor).
After the piece dried and I tried to finish turn it I wasn't particularly happy with it. I haven't gotten around to taking "Finishing 101" yet and I haven't used much polyurethane. Thought this might be a good piece to experiment with so I just grabbed a can of poly and gave it a try.
