I made a stand up puzzle out of aromatic cedar because of the different color grain. It's easy to cut, sands easy, but can be brittle.
I was wondering what type of finish would be best for it. Would a finish also keep it from splitting easily vs. not finishing it. I read two different sides, where one says don't seal with an oil based finish (turns gummy over time) but use lacqur or shallac. Others say oil finishes are ok.
I'm almost finished sanding it and will post a picture when done.
