Red Oak NE

[David Wilhelm]

I turned this green 8x4.5. Set it aside for a couple days to warp and flex. Sanded to 180 and filled a few small cracks then soaked in a home brew for about 30 mins. I let this drip dry 24 hrs and dipped again the next day. I repeated this process for about a week. Hand sanded with 320 and 400 then rubbed in a few coats with 400. letting each coat dry 24hrs. I was looking for a rustic grainy all natural effect. Something that really looked like wood.
