After searching the old posts on finishes for reel seats I thought I might ask if there are new products being used by the reel seat turning community. I looked at a couple of suppliers mentioned by Tom and saw some new finish options.
1. Tru oil still a good option for most wood? 2. permagloss? 3. what new urethane coatings if any? 4. what woods do not require finish or reject finishing and can be buffed --not referring to stabilized wood 5. Does stabilization make soft/powdery and perhaps inherently weak wood into a solid usable stock like a pure synthetic turning stock.? 6. What techniques and products for filling small imperfections. I have seen some specific products for pen turning and I am wondering if this can also be used. I have Andy Dear's DVD and have noted his finishing technique for stabilized wood. I would like to get my finish on board first this time and not after the piece is screwed up. thanks john kepka John God bless the troops and USA Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
