I've a wood pile full of eastern cedar (and 2 more large trees to take down). Problems is I've developed a hatred for this beautiful wood. I can't for the life of me get a gloss finish on the blasted stuff. Well, that's not true either, there is a beautiful finish on 2 sides, but the end grain sides suck the finish up like a straw.
Anyone got any ideas? I've buffed wax on the bowls in the past with good results, but the folks around here are asking for a hard, high- gloss finish. Any help would be much appreciated.
