greetings,
i've read some posts about what is the best way to make the grain stand out in a walnut project. i'm on the tail end of a jewelry box for my wife's Christmas present and wanted to know the best steps/finishes to use. i'm on somewhat of a budget and was hoping someone could recommend what to use from woodcraft.com - they are my closet store i can buy any finishes at besides home depot.
http://www.woodcraft.com/depts.aspx?pd=1042&deptid=1042 here is the link to their list of finishes. any ideas of where to start.
i've never done a shellac finish, but i catch on real quick and don't think it will be a problem. thanks in advance for any suggestions. - i would like to have the grain really stand out.
thanks,
greg
