Ordo said:

Superb finishing. Is boiled linseed oil water-proof?

Thank you....Yes...It protects the wood by repelling water...and it makes the grain pop

Yeah...maple tends to get added depth from the roasting....due to the crystallization of the sugar in the sap...

Thank you GP...your opinion is always much appreciated, and valued
I've been building more naturals lately...something about uncovering the grain and working with it to find a complimentary shape...very challenging and rewarding...the roasting process just seems to add another dimension to the build, and to the character of the wood.
