Well, I am in the process of building a "Regulator" Wall Clock. I chose some maple I found at Fine Hardwoods here in Austin.I put some BLO on a scrap piece and found it was very light, but matched our cabinets in the kitchen :) It Will be hanging near the cabinets. Yet, I really felt it should be a bit darker.
What I am looking for is any suggestions on finishing soft maple. The stain of course and then the final finish. I have a new inexpensive (read that cheap) HVLP spray gun and am thinking of varnish, shellac or lacquer.
Any and all suggestions appreciated.
Mike
