Eric,
I fully agree. I also feel that as long a we are working wood there will be a constant condition of the wood either gaining or losing moisture, that's just the nature of the beast. I think sealing helps prolong the stability of the wood, but that only goes so far. Even with a totally hard sealer the wood will still react to its environment eventually. I know most epoxies take five coats for "waterproofing" but I have seen some dramatic failures. I view sealers as means of getting a good footing for the subsequent coatings.
As Quint says in Jaws: Hooper?...turn a plug of wood, throw the wood in in the water?...Farewell and ado my fair Spanish ladies.....
