Tony,

Back in March I got a couple just cut Mulberry logs from a local tree service dump site. First and only time working with it so limited experience. Don't think I'll make a point of chasing...

Lisa,

My advice to you would be to contact Bill Blasic via PM on this site. He's probably less than 20 minutes from you and does classes. He'd get you off to a proper start.

I was thinking of doing that from the get go but have gotten the results I've been looking for every other time I've done the show polish thing, just gravitated that way. Thanks for the advice.

Robert,

Here's example of what this process does in a open grain piece such as oak. I was a little skeptical how it might work on a closed grain piece like maple but it actually captured the...
