Title: Desert Ironwood - New Build
Post by: gergg on March 30, 2019, 02:33:00 PM
Finishing up this Desert Ironwood trumpet this weekend, will be shipping it out to its new home this week. Never know what is hiding inside these blanks, but was pleasantly surprised by this one......always love the way Desert Ironwood plays/sounds too.

Greg, Nice wood, and workman ship
If not asking too much, what finish did you use on it.

Appreciate it....I use an oil-based poly. Oil-based poly is a bit finicky to use, but I like the way it looks/protects, so I deal with it.

Try teak oil or tru-oil both work good on oily and hard woods
