Members DaveP Posted July 15, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 15, 2020 Well I finally received my red polyurethane. I had ordered 1 foot of red originally and they sent me black. They had called me and said it had a few air holes in it. I didn't ask how much or how big. They sent me 4 foot worth! The tiny holes I can work around. Now to cut a piece off and put it in the freezer until tomorrow. Quote
Members DaveP Posted July 15, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 15, 2020 Faced to length and hole drilled. Sanded a little. Back in the freezer it goes until after work. Quote
Members DaveP Posted July 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 16, 2020 It's finished!! Hopefully I'll be able to make some nice projects with it. What do you think? Quote
Members Spyros Posted July 16, 2020 Members Report Posted July 16, 2020 To be honest I'm not too sure about the red, but you did make go and order some tru-oil Quote
Members DaveP Posted July 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 16, 2020 With Tru-Oil just need patience for drying times. Put it on in thin coats. Whichever wood you choose it may need a sealer 1st to fill in the bigger pores I didn't figure most would like the red. Since traditionally they're black. I have a red truck, red motorcycle...yep I like reds! Quote

Members Spyros Posted July 17, 2020 Members Report Posted July 17, 2020 It grows on me the more I look at it Quote
Members Retswerb Posted July 25, 2020 Members Report Posted July 25, 2020 Why have one just like everybody else when you’re making it for yourself? The red stands out and that handle is a thing of beauty. Nice job! What weight did you end up at? Quote
Members Alaisiagae Posted July 25, 2020 Members Report Posted July 25, 2020 That looks gorgeous! The handle is exquisite, really one-of-a-kind. I think you have a lot of talent and skill to be able to fabricate your own maul like that. Quote
