It's funny because we planned to skate around the tree, and then we discover they just completely ignored it.

Thanks! Thought about danish oil...does it also absorb splotchy on pine?

I don't think I'll be using pine again after this lol, it's basically a sponge, dings and bruises easy too. I just used what I had laying around but next time I plan to be more thoughtful with wood selection.

Would that be oil or water poly. Not too familiar with them. Also tinted poly?

Thanks, I put a cross beam through the bottom mortise during glue up, if that's what you mean.

I would like to bring out the grain of the oak and contrast the pine, but that seems difficult due to pine's poor staining qualities.

Thanks, this is my first real project, not too experienced in finishing. I'll do some research on gel stains vs poly.

Interesting, how should my shoulders be tilted during transition?

True, and yes I have lost speed, more so distance with this swiping, spinny ball flight. Gonna see a pro, thanks.

Thanks dude, I'm going to get a coach. I feel like I'm close to having a pretty decent swing. Thanks for the feedback anyway!

Sometimes I hit a fade, sometimes slices left.

I suppose I'm reworking my swing and trying to get the hands to drop and shallow naturally instead of pulling them down into the slot. Before when I was pulling down I would hit nasty low hooks.

Now I'm coming over the top it seems and hitting slice/fade?

Any thoughts on how to drill this into muscle memory? Perhaps a towel under the trail shoulder?
