Build a Chess Board. Pt.5- Prep for Finishing

[myfaceback100]

you did not have to do all that cleaning if you do the finishing right it would save you all that work of claning the shop

That is beautiful! I want to make one, although, I will probably mess it up. :(

Steve, Does the Jasco 'natural' grain filler colour the pores of the walnut? it seems very yellow and as I cannot find a clear filler I have experimented with a natural filler but the pores in the walnut are left with a very light colour, does this effect the overall finished colour of the walnut?

@andersonec1 I've had pretty good luck with the Jasco filler. I don't think it affects the overall color. It looks scary when you first put it on, though.

mabey you can make a second Tut. Hand carving the peices

[conductorron]

The wood filler that you mentioned for the open grained walnut, is that the same as a pre-stain that is used on very soft woods such as pine.?

Congratulations - beautiful work!

- How many days did you take to have the whole project finished?

don't rub too hard with a tac cloth, it will leave something behind that will not let the finish dry.
