i finally got the jewelry box finished for my wife.... wavy maple with a
fruitwood oil finish..... actually very nice...i was going to use tung oil,
but wanted to highlight the wave.... anyways....
#1... can i put a wax coating on the oil finish to make it gloss shine ? and
for those who are semantic-piques... may i put the finish with good results ?
#2... any suggestions on where to purchase miniature drawer pulls.... say 1/2
inch in diameter? i have tried all the local craft like stores, but no one has
them.... just ALOT of xmas stuff.... we don't have many *hobby shops* that
carry hardware and the regular hardware stores don't carry stuff that small....
i did find them in rockler's catelogue, but s&h seems to be a tad bit steep for
just a couple....
thanx for the assist.... happy holidays for those who indulge..... bah humbug
for those who don't....

I think you'll find a larger selection at Horton Brasses:

but I suspect the shipping charges may be similar.
