All trolling aside, that is pretty disturbing. Holy Hell!

The stain will not be absorbed as readily if you use a conditioner.

You likely won't have that issue with cedar since the grain pattern is pretty even.

always condition the wood prior to stain. It's too easy and cheap to not do it right.


Case in point. :confused:

Thanks all.

Sanded with 180 and now am now ready to stain. Still not sure about wood conditioner. What’s the worst that could happen if I applied it?

Appreciate the advice!

Damn! Didn’t know this was a thing. I’ll be heading to Home Depot tomorrow.

I’m guessing about 20 gallons of paint and 15 pints of stain in my garage.

Furk.

Good advice. I did this with the stain and poly on a scrap and it looks decent. Just trying to save a few bucks before purchasing wood conditioner. :lol:

Hey all! My son asked me to build a cross for his upcoming wedding. I used cedar 4x4's, bleached them to remove the orange tint, have sanded with 150 grit and will be sanding with 220 grit tomorrow.

Any thoughts on whether a wood conditioner is needed prior to applying the stain? The internet seems mixed on this for cedar wood. I will be applying oil based Min-wax stain and then oil based satin polyurethane.

Picture sharing website?

Do any of you have a recommendation on a site to use for sharing pictures?

We recently celebrated my mom’s 90th birthday and we had a friend take photos. The friend gave a thumb drive to my mom and I now have them copied to my PC’s hard drive.

I want to share them in the most simple way. Obviously the crowd is older so I am trying to avoid a site that requires downloading an app to view the pictures.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Good Lordy, that’s a bunch of cards. How do you sit with that in your back pocket?


Front pocket. It’s a glorified money clip. Visa credit, Visa debit, Amex, HSA card, corporate Amex purchasing card and corporate travel & Entertainment card.

Wait! You just made me realize that I still have corporate cards! I retired in July! Thanks man! :lol:

Nice. Can we talk about this picture for a minute?

First, I remember it being posted by the Biden admin as a brag, which is pretty sad.

Second, WTF are you doing with those cheese slices (I think that is what they are). WTF are you doing with that ground beef? Are those chicken breasts, pork chops? Terrible all around.
That UGA is not usually on the lists except when it comes to points scored.

Just a bunch of different dudes getting the job done. :pimp:
