This type of cut is quite common in industry. they sell special machines to
do it. I would look into buyig on of the machines made for this before I
tried any jury rigged operation. Woodsmith has a planner set up to do this
type of cut and I believe Grizzly also has a set up for this. The cost of
either machine is much lower then then the cost of a hospital visit to the
emergency room, even if you have good insurance.

For a reason now forgotten, I was showing a neighbor a couple pieces I
had made a while back. Both oak, one finshed w/water base, one w/oil.
The oil actually looked better as oak has that natural amber hue and
the oil poly warmed it. And, as stated, oak will darken a bit as it
ages.

I would also use oil based. When I first started in this hobby, I
always used water based Poly. The projects I made don't look near as
nice as the ones finished in oil.
Also, oil poly is more durable/tough, which is nice to have on a
baseboard which might get banged from time to time.
I don't know if there's any specific brands to avoid. Just get one of
the major brands and you should be fine. If this is the first time
you've ever applied poly, I recommend getting "polyuerethane for
floors". It is thinned a little bit, which makes it much easier to
avoid getting brush marks/bubbles. That's what I use.

I bet his response was meant for the thread about the 2 10" blades cutting
multiple pieces.

Yep, and our eyes still see amber colors as warm and friendly. Makes
absolutely clear, or with some water-borne types, cold bluish stuff look
weird.

Uh, how does a woodsmith "planner" prevent polyurethane from yellowing?
And how does it prevent a hospital visit as a result of applying
polyurethane?

If you want to avoid yellowing, use a water based. The oil will yellow. The
oak will darken over time anyway.
Whoops!!! wrong message sorry
