coat

Hi new to here, Can anyone recommend how to stop colour smudging together when I'm finishing. I'm using tulipwood dryed red with light fast stain methanol based with maple stripes. 1st finish I give 2 coats of sanding sealer then 4 coats of wax but it smudges on the 1st coat. 2nd finish is ca...

This was my first attempt at making a pen. Made with Zebrano wood to a slimline pen-kit. Struggling with the finishing process at the moment, as this was sanded to 600 grit, then a coat of friction polish and microchrystalline stick to finish. Regards. John :banana:

I first turned a seam ripper for my dear ol' Ma. She loved it so. And then asked for another for the wicked sister... I tried so hard to not make it look so nice but my lord that blank just popped. Pine cone hybrid blank used. Unfortunately lost most of the pine cone due to the size of the kit...

Afternoon, Hit a problem with some bowls that have dried unevenly after a second coat of finishing oil. Primarily Ash and Sycamore but a couple of Cherry as well. Oddly not all bowls in this batch of 12 have the issue. I have processed about 40 bowls before with out problems so this is a real...

So this is as far as I...

I have just completed a needle pot decorated with pyrography. I wanted to try a couple of different finishes to see how they compared. The finish on the lid of the pot is melamine gloss, sprayed from a rattle can. I didn't enjoy the process even with the windows open. The body is finished with...

Has anyone used liming wax?- Im thinking of using it on my bog oak pens to enhance the grain and assume it needs to go on after lacquer? Question is - will it eventually wear away or can it be sealed in with a final coat of lacquer?

Sierra pencil with a Yew coat and a touch of brass infill.

Alert.. Marmite pen here for you guys to look at. Done this for a family friend, its not finished completely as wanted to make sure the shape, fit and feel was right for them. Bit of a "prototype" really. Kit - Polaris gold plated Jacket - English olive wood (From Neil) Finish - through the...
