Semogue 2000 Refinish

Like many out there, my Semogue 2000's finish began to crack and peel not too long after getting it. So I got out some sandpaper and took it down to bare wood, stained it with Minwax Colonial Maple, put on four coats of Minwax Polyurethane semi-gloss, and ..........

 

Looks nice. Well done.

 

Looks very nice, Steve.

 

Nicely done Steve!

 

Thanks guys.
I was pleased with the outcome.
Call me fickle, but although I like the lighter stain, I can't help but wonder how it would have looked with something a bit darker. hmmm.... guess I could always buy another 2000....:signs002

 

Looks beautiful Steve! Thanks for the pic!

 

Can you post your address so we can all send our old brushes to you for a touch up?

It does look very nice.

 

Appreciate the comments.
I'm no Norm Abram by any means. Like I said, just some sandpaper to get it down to bare wood, stain, then poly. That easy.

 

You have a better mustache....

 

Why, yes I do, sir! :biggrin:

 

Really nice job!

 

Very nice. I bet it feels better in the hand now too!

 

Niccce..

 

And after 3-1/2 years, it's holding up great

 

very Nice!!

 

Nice. I haven't had a lick of trouble with the finish on my 2000 over the last two years.

 

Very nice! There is little nicer to look at than natural wood.................

 

The wooden handles are pretty but they need some work to last long.

 

it looks great!

 

Nice job and thanks for posting. I'll keep this in mind should one of my wood handle Semogues require refinishing.
