Title: Straight to poly vs natural stain? Benefits one way or another?
Post by: Keith Wolfe on December 08, 2018, 01:13:58 PM

This is sample wood cut from the bow I'm making. On the left, natural stain. On the right, oil based poly satin. I don't see the color difference much but maybe it would be different with poly on the stain. No stain would save time. I'm kinda liking the poly side more. Thoughts???
