Minwax Polyurethane? Or the water based minwax polycrylic?

 Will, it's Minwax Polyurethane.

Steve, glad you like her.

Bob. You will do fine, Just go slow and very methotical following the back. You have a great mentor at your side.

Badly, That is cool a lumpy bumpy posting.  >:D

Very nice Keenan, that wood looks a lot like bearded yew with all the pins in it, wood turners like the pins for character.

Looking great so far Keenan. How often does yew exhibit that type of roller coaster side view profile. That looks like so much fun to tiller!

Thanks Guys.

Cody What I've noticed is it tends to be in the larger and older trees that are in good snow elevation. I think what happens is the small branches try to start growing and the snow pack and ice breaks them of each year when they are small twigs. You will often see 6-8 feet of branchless trunk  But not always the case I have cut some that was smooth and consistant and another 100 feet away that was roller a coaster surface

An amazing piece of work Keenan. You've outdone yourself again. I'm looking forward to the hero shot.
