bassman Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I recently bought a piece of bookmatched quilted maple from northridgehardwoods.com . I am happy not only with the figure but also with the grain/ring orientation, the darker lines of grain have a burl effect to them. To the pint though, the wrong side of the set shows the most 3-D effect- even though it is more rough than the inside that I have sanded. I thought that sanding would help bring out the effect, yet the rough "wrong" side still looks much better than the inside. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can increase the 3D effect some more? Besides geting another piece and/or staining it with different shades. Is there a certain way to sand it so that the "folds" will be as prominent on the right side as they are on the wrong side? Peace and thanks for the help.

Brian Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I know the bookmatch on the ruff side is probably a little off from as well a match as you have on the surfaced side, but is it way off? The best way for the rich full 3D is still the multi-stain and sand routine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
