Thanks for all the responses everyone! Very helpful!

Hi all, Seeking some advice around finishing. I have a coaster set I am doing and I'd like to apply Danish oil on it first and then put a clear coat of poly after. Looking for suggestions surrounding the application process. There are a lot of internal cuts and therefore a lot of nooks and crannies. I'd like to be able to get all the internal cuts with oil that way it's not a big deal if I miss them with the poly spray. I saw one idea to soak it in a small bowl of oil wax mix but I feel like that's a lot of oil going to waste and might not dry properly. Other than applying the oil to the nooks with a small brush I'm out of ideas. Thoughts. Thanks Tom

Thanks for all the clarification! That helps quite a bit. You speak about pro/semi pro sports teams. The creative commons license info I pasted above was from a picture of a professional baseball player on wikimedia commons. So I'm guessing that's okay to use? Sorry for all the follow up questions, just trying to sort out my attack plan! Tom

Thanks for the response Travis. So if I found a picture with this copyright info on it: You are free: to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work to remix – to adapt the work Under the following conditions: attribution – You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work). Can I take that to mean I can make a pattern of it and sell the piece, so long as i attribute the original author. And any advice on drawing my own versions of Disney or other characters, and making patterns from my own drawing to use?

Hi All, I see in many of Travis' tutorial videos, he discusses pulling pictures from Wikimedia Commons, as for the most part, they are free to reuse without seeking permission. Am I to interpret this to mean that I can pull picture from there, make a pattern of that picture, and sell a finished piece I cut from that pattern? Travis, any clarification? Also, I understand some organizations have very strict copyright laws. Take Disney for instance. If i was to draw my own rendition of a disney character, make a pattern of it, and sell the finished piece, is that allowed? Just trying to get a grasp on this copyright business before I consider selling pieces. Thanks for the help in advance. Tom
