spent the day making some finials for some vessels I had turned eariler.
Pic #1 Table with finials - Ones in the front are mistakes for one reason or another - as you can see I have plenty of extra ones......
Pic #2 Analine dye finial with a few coats of Laquer on and will finish and cut off
Pic #3 Analine dye finial on the lathe with a few coats of Laquer and will cut off also soon
I am getting tired of using Laquer but I do like it because I can quickly keep going with my finishes if I use it........but the overspray is a pain......and spraying outside in the So. Calif. wheather is to hot.......thinking I may change my way of doing things for awhile to soaking in Oil/varnish/MS mixture for several days - (wet sand lightly every 24hrs for the few days).......pull it out and let dry well for several days......then 1-2 coats of AO/DO.........let dry for a week.....the buff out...................I have done this in the past with good results and no cracking or special bagging..........Thoughts on another way ??
