I am working a board of elm, waney edged on both long edges. It is approx 42" * 10" * 3/4". It is to be used as a golf trophy, with a wooden shafted putter mounted on it and a number of small metal shields with winners names mounted following the sweep of the edge. What would you recommend that I use for a finish? I want to make the most of the natural tones and the grain.
Also, should I apply the same finish to the back?
There are a couple of small splits at one of the ends. I feel that there should be left and not filled, but I am open to comments.
And finally, is there anything in particular I should use or be aware of regarding the bark on the waney edges?
