Finish on Brazilian rosewood

[Dave Hawksford]

There is none. This is my special technique. Sand to 1000 get. Then ivory burnished while spinning. The oils in the wood be CV ome super hot causing a chemical reaction . Polishing the surface. I do this with all the hard exotic woods.

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed there wasn't a finish to be honest. Nice looking wood.

I'll do a video and show you. I use a mastodon tooth and apply pressure to the wood surface as it spins.

Nice looking finish-finish. Would that technique work with another burnishing material? e.g. another hunk of the rosewood.

 

[Dave Hawksford]

Frank I haven't tried it. It would be interesting to find out.

Dave Hawksford, nice job. Did you use wax on it? And what exact wood primer do you prefer to use? When I need to use it, I always prefer to use the best wood primer , which is Zinsser B-I-N for me. I've tested it in different situations, and can say it for me. It can make everything I need with wooden details.

Good looking call. I really like the texturing. Those rascals get slippery and it's nice to have a grip-assist.
