Aaron,
Thanks for your thoughts. I usually follow that process but when people said lilac was pretty touchy, I just went at it. In a stable stock, I would be more apt to do as Ellsworth suggests. 
Hope all is well with you!
Take care,
Bob

> Well, this was a challenging turn for me. The lilac had numerous bark inclusions but was steady as she went. It’s still wet so is spending time in an open paper bag for a while. Can‘t wait to apply finish. Should be pretty.
