It was a fun project. I used it to practice for the Urn that I have to build using Walnut with the maple accent.
The finish is General Finishes High Performance poly sprayed with 1.0mil needle and my Q5 at full power. I sprayed it real thin, 4 coats, as I wanted to maintain the beauty of the wood and not get that wet look when you spray on too thick. I did not thin the poly. Sprayed right out of the can.
Cheers,
