Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

Thanks for the warm welcome and good wishes! I am currently making bowls with a bandsaw instead of a scrollsaw, the way I was taught. It’s all about tangents, and I’m having a great deal of fun. I’m just a novice, but I know this site and all you nice folks will help me grow my skills. Thanks again so very much!

God bless,

Welcome aboard Michele,
You may not be such a novice too long here. Don’t be afraid to ask questions on other members projects, that’s where you can get their replies with the how or why they did something and you can learn from others.

I cant resist this.

You look very nice today Ms. Cleaver, That’s a lovely dress. Is Wally home?

Hi, everyone,

I need some help for my husband; he has a “finishing emergency”. Here goes:

(My husband says…) “I’m using Minwax red mahogany stain on a side table to match the existing furniture for my church. To get close to the color match, I had to build up several coats to get the oak as dark as possible. The stain seems to sit on the surface and not penetrate the wood at all. Any polyurethane topcoat I apply picks up the stain and lightens the color. Even lightly buffing with 0000 steel wool in-between coats has even exposed some of the lighter grain.
I wanted to have a durable and long-lasting finish, and this approach hasn’t given me much confidence. It’s now the 11th hour and I wanted to present the table by Christmas – I have a feeling that it’s not going to happen.”

Any help on this day-before-Christmas Eve, will be most appreciated! Thanks so much to all my new friends!

Merry Christmas,
Michele
