bradleyheathhays Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I'm somewhat new to woodworking and I'm planning on doing some live edge tables. My issue is I don't have enough experience reading wood grain so that I'm able to predict what kind of color will come out of a slab once it's finished. As I'm meandering through the local mill is there anything acceptable I can do to the slabs that will reveal their finished coloring? I know you can wet a slab and bring out it's color but I hardly think you should do that to one that's already been dried. Or maybe brush on a little sanding sealer...but that'd probably be frowned upon. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordekyle Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 The place where I get mine uses a squirt bottle of water.I don’t know if they do that on their kiln dried wood, Since they offer that service now.Either way, a little bit of water won’t hurt.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
