Marc,
This project is by far the most helpful I’ve seen (I’m fairly new to the guild and that may change). I have definitely stolen your go-to finishing technique and I’m very impressed by the results. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work! Y- The Handicraftsman

GREAT HOW TO!

Marc, thank you for sharing your technique on finishing. This video is easy to follow and “simple” to apply. I’m in the middle of a project now and can’t wait to use your techniques again. My wife was actually surprised in how my last project turned out! (I may have forgotten to mention I learned it from you) thanks for the video. I look forward to purchasing more.
