Topic tags/keywords: question sap I put four coats of an oil-based clear wood finish on a solid Mahogany door, which was not solid mahogany for I had to cut four windows in it, and its bleeding sap in one area. I think the pine is leaking,regardless, I hung the door and everything was fine. I came back the next day and it was bleeding through.It receives full afternoon and evening sun and the customer is of course not happy. Should I sand that area and seal the wound ? If so what do you ya’ll recommend ? I am in north Texas and all we have are 100 degree days, so I am limited with temperature control [ my shop doesn’t have air-condition].Thank you for any advice -- Ron,Texas,http://rjnwood99@clearwire.net |

Where did you get the door? -- Gary, DeKalb Texas only 4 miles from the mill |

So, you are telling us it is mahogany veneer over pine?? Did you seal the pine when you made the openings for the windows? I probably wouldn’t have done this but if that is the case then it might have helped. I am 55 miles from your area and I can verify you are putting some heat on that door. |

If it was me Ron, I’d take that door right back to them. That’s an inferior door. You shouldn’t have to deal with sap leaking from the inside. -- Gary, DeKalb Texas only 4 miles from the mill |

I would agree with Gary unless you have modified the door to install the windows. |

Yes fellas I modified the door,damn your right, but its bleeding through the veneer not where I cut it -- Ron,Texas,http://rjnwood99@clearwire.net |

Ah ha One of those lessons from that infamous school of hard knocks… -- Gary, DeKalb Texas only 4 miles from the mill |

Any suggestions on sealing it? School of hard knocks is getting old….been knocked around too much.Lesson learned oh well..got to keep moving on. -- Ron,Texas,http://rjnwood99@clearwire.net |

can you spray it with one of those stain/sealer combo finish things. This might make it a little darker. anything to salvage the door at this point. The store might still work with you since it is not in the area you cut. |

I will try that,thanks for the advice. The door cost $2300 I doubt they will work with me. On another note ,is there any woodworking clubs in your area. Such as get-togethers to discuss or demonstrate jigs,tricks or networking for jobs? -- Ron,Texas,http://rjnwood99@clearwire.net |

Not that I am aware of. There is a club for everything else but not woodworkers. Crafters meet and bee keepers but not woodworkers. Maybe we should start a club. |
#12 posted 08-24-2011 08:18 PM |
I would be open to it. They have a wood-turners club here,but I am not really into that,except turning my own pulls. I am very interested in starting one, 55 miles is not far. I am originally from Pennsylvania and they have clubs but nothing here. -- Ron,Texas,http://rjnwood99@clearwire.net |

I live in Duncan Oklahoma. I saw that you live in Iowa Park. That might be a little more than 55 miles. I think we figure 55 miles from WF. |
#14 posted 08-24-2011 08:51 PM |
Been to Duncan, add around 18 more miles from Iowa Park. -- Ron,Texas,http://rjnwood99@clearwire.net |

Wonder if there would be any interest in Lawton? I went to the Tech school in Moore/Norman a couple of weeks ago. They have all kinds of classes there that we don’t have at our local school. I was with my wife and I was just browsing brochures while she was on school business. They have a shop with a dozen turning lathes. I think our local school shop has one. Hard to generate interest in this climate (no tools I mean). |
