Finish?

If you don't like the look of poly, why use it? I don't like the look of poly on my scroll saw projects. For a final finish I always use spray can Laqcuer. In fact I use semi gloss as I don't like high gloss. Laqcuer dries real fast, so I can apply two coats within a half an hour. After the Laqcuer dries, I use a folded piece of brown paper bag to smooth out the finish and remove any dust nibs.

The result is as smooth satiny finish!

Well I will offer up my 2 cents worth. I would do a test. Put the poly on a piece of the same type of wood and let it dry for 3 or 4 days then spray it with lacquer. I bet you will be okay. Most finishes not only need to dry but they need to cure. If you do the test please send me a PM as I would like to know the results.

Good idea I have some scrap walnut leftover from the project. I will go both ways & see if either one reacts to the other. I will Let everyone know what I find out in about 4 days.
