My stepdad started a ceder chest years ago. He didn't joint to boards, just glued and clamped them. After he died I got all the ceder and cherry lumber. My brother got down there and cleaned out the shop before I could get back. He burned all the black walnut, black oak, red oak, white oak and maple. There was 3 truck loads of lumber that came off of that 20 acres that I could have brought home.

Man thats bad news Cane, no tellin what that walnut was worth. I have a piece of walnut in my father in laws barn that is prolly 11 feet in length and about 12 by 12. I need to get it sawed and planed and use it for something. Also got a good pile of red oak up there. I really like working with the oak.

Got a question for G or any of you woodworking gurus, I just watched a video of a guy applying his poly with a lint free cloth, just dipped it in the poly and wiped it on real slow and it turned out nice. Have any of you ever used this method??????

Sammy...I buy the rub on poly by MinWax and I rub it on with a piece of old T shirt....It works great. Three coats let dry between each coat and hit it lightly with fine steel wool then tack off with a tack cloth and rub another coat on.

By the way WalMart carrys that rub on poly by MinWax....It comes in a quart....flat metal can. I really like the satin finsh

Thnx G sounds good think I am gonna try it on this top. Heading to lowes this afternoon, to check out stains and I will try and find it. If its MINWAX I know its a good product.
