It seems that most/many of us really hate and dread the finishing part of a project so I'm just curious about what's the psychology that drives that mindset for you. :dontknow:
1. We use high quality wood species that aren't cheap.
2. We take great pains to cut accurate and precise fitting joints. We plane, sand, prep, and get ready for the glue-up.
3. Now it's finishing...arghhh, arghhh, arghhh! What a PITA! :BangHead:
After we expend so much effort to get to that point why is it such a scary task? In a hurry and just want to complete it? Lack of finishing experience?
Confused by different finishing techniques and the many finish options available to us? Or simply where to start and how to do it so I don't screw it up at this point?
Just curious what your individual approaches are to the topic.
Thanks.
