I just purchased the book, “Fantasy & Legend Scroll Saw Puzzles” by Judy and Dave Peterson published by Fox Chapel (thanks BobD, you publish some good books). Some great puzzles are in there. I am very anxious to start one; I’m going to do the Hippogriff for my grown son for Christmas. This will be my first hard wood project. I'm thinking of doing it in ¾ or 1 inch Red Oak. My question is how do you finish this type of wood?
I would like a high gloss finish and of course red. Do I put any stain (...and I’m not so sure about the applying the stain part) on it or just sand it out and put on high gloss polyurethane? I am going to try the finial sanding with brown paper sack. I do want it to look very good being for Christmas and all.
Thanks,
Bill
