It went pretty quickly, relatively ;).<br /><br />Ha I don't have much of a choice on my Walnut. It's local which is to say Eastern Black Walnut. That Claro Walnut you get over there gets EXPENSIVE too! Personally, I'd love a Euro variety over the Claro or Eastern Walnuts :).<br /><br />Jeff - Yes, pre-finishing makes life easier! Also, because glue doesn't stick so well to finish, squeeze out clean up is easier too!<br />Just be sure to not get any on the parts doing the joining. I don't use spray finishes but I still mask parts off with tape.Nicholas Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007087871945089139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-43084490460076884022011-02-10T20:11:47.621-06:002011-02-10T20:11:47.621-06:00I am interested in your finishing the case prior t...I am interested in your finishing the case prior to glue-up. I did it the opposite way (finish after glue-up) on a recent project and finishing the interior was very difficult.<br /><br />Do you have to do anything with the joinery differently knowing that glue won't stick to the finish, etc.?Jeff Branchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402561454519694074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-807557224568987412011-02-10T20:08:41.443-06:002011-02-10T20:08:41.443-06:00Very cool!!!
