I've cut a bunch of Black Cherry blanks, fresh from the log, that are 2" x 2" x 11".
I did this on my bandsaw.
I've got some folks that will dry them, and then use them for game calls, or even spindles.
I normally dip the ends in Anchorseal, and they dry slowly.
I'm out of Anchorseal (I will be getting more later).
I'm wondering if I could use a substitute.
I've heard of folks using latex paint...and I do have some old paint sitting around.
Can I dip the ends in that to achieve the same results of eliminating end checks, while drying?
Again....I only dip the ends, about 1/4 - 1/2".
