I have some weathered pieces of Jatoba that I picked up from Lumber Liquidators and was thinking of using some to make a marking gauge.
I'm concerned that this wood is so dry that when a finish is applied, it's going to drink it up and move like crazy. Would it be feasible to sand, apply a couple coats of BLO, and let it sit for a couple of weeks to stabilize before jointing and cutting?
Thanks!
