Beautiful project, curious what you used to seal the tree trunk.

Badger,

Thanks Very Happy

,

The tree trunk has about 6 coats of brush on lacquer on it. It is a piece of wood it found out on the prairie and it really soaked it up. I actually poured it into some of the deep crevices. I had to do it outside of my shop as the fumes were over powering.
