In this day of advanced modern technology, They haven't invented a work bench that doesn't get cluttered yet??

Shred,
you should see my bench,,Ifya can even find it most times,

those risers,,wish id seen them before I cut out mine, just that pic showed me how I shulda done it,,

OK, so Knowing the Black Evil would sand into my oak, I made an executive dunksishion,
IF I had let it dry, not much would migrate into the oak,
I did the opposite,
I did my second wet sanding while it was tacky, Keeping to my "WAYWARD" Direction,
and the outcome is that the Dark Palm Dust-- filled the Grain Holes a teensy-weency in the oak,
Giving the Oak grain the Blackened Contrast I wanted to Go along with the Gorgious Spalted lines in the Limbs
I HOPE

heres the 3rd coat now drying on my High-End specialized Drying unit
(If it starts snapping and popping its only a short toss into the hell Black palm belongs in-Im still digging out splinters in my fingers)
,
Cheers all, and THANK YOU for the kind words
John

Clutter is operator error.
So John you drilled that riser yet?

It will be fine John as long as you got them all coated just don't pop it off the form early

Yep.....make sure limb is cured and cooled to room temp before releasing bands. It will help reduce springback.

Riser looks nice

I think the black in the grain just makes it looked aged.

second limb Glued up and on the form,

Tomorrow will tell the tale
