Hi,
I have a backgammon board which I've made and am just about to the finishing stage. The board itself is made of wenge and zebrawood, made of solid wood with the pattern from the 1982 woodworking magazine. There's also a frame around it made of walnut to hold the pieces, dice, and to fold up into a case.
My question is what's the best way to finish it? I read one thread about doing a multi-step process involving oil, pore-filler and shellac... I believe I've read elsewhere someone suggested spray-on Minwax... does anyone have any experience and ideas on the matter? This is the first real woodworking project I've taken on so it's all new to me.
Thanks.
