In some woods more than others it is a very noticeable difference and highlights the joint not allowing a flowing feel/view of the piece in question. Also Book matching by its symmetric nature tends to point to the joint and can get a bit "mechanical" lets say for my taste.<br /><br />Nick B, Which design book do you have? I have a book and that mag they put out. Not all bad stuff but like I said... the really "unique" stuff ... ha<br /><br />Dan, I was thinking about white and western red cedar(s).<br />Shellac vs oil. I do like oil on Walnut. It depends on the piece of course. The KD Walnut Pedestal I made has an oil finish. I just find that it can neutralize its color variation a bit and tends to make the subtly colored walnut much more brown overall muting the mauve and violet tones. Oil probably gives a bit more "executive" feel while a minimal shellac finish has a more "casual" feel in terms of Walnut... but that is my opinion.Nicholas Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007087871945089139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-40851228711150766032010-07-13T19:28:23.558-05:002010-07-13T19:28:23.558-05:00Hey Nick,
