Anchor Seal Alternative

RP Edington · 2003-08-24T02:02:15+00:00

I just came into a forest of standing and felled Walnut trees. In thepast I have ruined some excellent ash by not coating the ends of thelogs properly. I did coat the ends with some shellac, but it stillsplit wide and deep. Of course I did bring it from Indiana toOklahoma. I can't get Anchor Seal up here in northen Oklahoma, and Idon't have any turning clubs to go to. I am basically here on my own. Anchor Seal is pretty expensive too, I think I have read some postson its price.Is there some cheaper alternative I can use. I have a 19" dia.,120lb, green log of walnut I don't want to split up like the ash did. I just cut it today. I coated the ends of the logs with Titebond II. Better than nothing. I plan to turn it up soon, but what else can Iget easily and econimically.Wax is a possibility, I haven't it before. Just any candle wax?What are some alternatives to preserving this beautiful wood?Thanks,RP

George,

What did you use this for, in the Army?

Ah, okay. I spent many an hour on the wrong end of a buffer myself. We tended more towards using Kiwi Neutral, though, except on communal areas, where we used the liquid stuff.
