Thanks again everyone fro your compliments; I am humbled.
JD: I just harvested a bunch of pretty nice bark , did you need any? The bark I used on this tree was probably .030" thick or so, definitely not an 1/8".
Asier:
1. I put 5-6 coats of Tru Oil, then applied the writing via Pigma Micron Pen. 2. I let the ink dry for 10 minutes or so but don;t smudge it, because it will smudge!
2. I then immediately applied a coat of "ACE Hardware Store – Clear Professional Finish. #Gloss – 90081" finish to seal the ink.
3. Afterwards I applied 3 more coats of the polyurethane and then hit the final coat with 0000 Steel Wool.
4. After that I place 4-5 coats or Carnauba(sp?) floor wax; that's how I seal the finishes from the elements!
I hope that helps everyone!
Joe
