Another TM Alpha in a "Fiji" blank finished with Melamine. Really having trouble getting a satisfactory finish though - the images don't really show the problem. The wood is fine but the Alumilite is just not quite right, inconsistent "shine"
Maybe I'm over-working it :thinks:
Finished this with Melamine yesterday, using Phil's methodology - thank you :thumbs:
Blank is "Fiji" from Axminster. The photo's are not terribly good and don't show the finish well. I'm happy with the "burr" but the Alumilite not so sure :thinks:
