Well My lastest project is well under way and I think it is going all right.  I am building a cross for our chapel here at the school and have just finished the bloodwood inlays.  It is nothing extravagent but I think it looks pretty sharp.  Here is a question.  Will laquer adhere properly and look good over BLO?  Or what would you suggest I use for a finish.  IT is going to be handled a lot by a bunch of not so careful college students.  Any suggestions???  I would like it to have some what of a shine so maybe Poly?   I don’t know.  I’m like the other guy who posted saying he gets nervous when it comes time to finish.  Except I get neverous when it comes time to cut my first M/T joint.  Anyways I suppose that the realitive calmness will come with age.  So I hope. 

God Bless all of you.
