Title: now what (need advice)
Post by: keekeerun on February 18, 2008, 10:12:07 pm

I finished planeing and sanding some rose shoots today, got them straight and tapered. Right where the thorns grew out of the shoots there are very small holes, does this matter. I sanded them down smooth. Also what do you guys suggest for staining or a finish. Would linseed oil be okay.

Ok Bob i will research them i will find out what that means by the end of tomorrow

Thats one of the reasons why i admire them because they wouldnt leave their homeland and give into the white man.

They tricked  Osceola into capture and thats wrong

Thanks I got some tru-oil I'll try that. The shoots come out straight but some are not quite uniform.  I got a little carried away while planing them by hand, I stopped sanding when they spined out to what I wanted. Will that have any effect on how they fly.
