Walnut is a beautiful wood - and it's certainly looking good on that build. Nice! Intrigued by the "wipe on poly". Can I buy the ingredients from a standard hardware store, or are they more specia...

Thnx Russ, thnx TV! As for wipe-on poly: Get a good quality polyurethane laquer, just make sure it isn't water based. Mix it one on one with mineral spirits (or a bit thinner to get a really smooth su...

@e-den-hertog Fantastic and it sounds like you've hit pay dirt with your daughter's choice of husband!! Free wood for the foreseeable future!! ?

@frocesterbill WOW Bill!! I agree with Deej about the truss rod cover - looks ACE...Outstanding work - how is the action?

New bench made over the weekend @david-johnson09 I hope it is screwed to the wall? - solid!
