First coat of waterlox. Always been my favorite rubbing oil. What's your favorite finish? This is the only flag I've done in blue. Custom mix. Not quite the hue I was going for, but overall I'm pleased. 2-3 more coats of finish, then let it air out in shop for about two weeks. Until then, the smell of that Waterlox is deathly. (Which is why I didn't use it often in past) I am pleased to finally own one of my flags!

So much life in this guy, just like all the previous. First day back in shop for over month, and feels great. Sanded to 120. Should be applying finish next weekend!

Last cuts and glue ups. Now at stage 1 of carving. The cutterhead for this grinder is one of the secret ingredients to this sauce. It has no mercy, no matter how hard the wood. (That red is padauk which is almost twice as hard as white oak.) Next week I break out the Holey Galahad to finish shaping and get ready for the endless hours of sanding. Needless to say, The wood fibers got me itching in areas I didn't know existed.
