I currently have a osage orange dred under construction. It looks a though it will need little or no grain filler. Who has experience with finishing this wood? As this is my first experience with it, any tips would be very helpful. I normally finish with KTM 9 if that information is useful. Cecil |

No pore filler is required. Spray three coats let it cure for a few days then level sand. That should fill any micr pores. Then shoot 3 - 6 more coats on top of that and your done, 'cept for buffing. |

Thanks Tim, It sure looked that way to me. I just thought that I might as well ask in case I was overlooking something. I expected this stuff to be difficult to work with but have really been pleasantly surprised. I am looking forward to the finished product. Cecil |

I'll lay odds that you will be VERY pleased with the results! Osage is one of the best tone woods on the planet, bar none! |
