Piece #474 – Maple with Obsidian Inlay – 10″ by 4″
This is a flawless, classic bowl. It is finished with blond dewaxed shellac. I buy colorless shellac flakes and dissolve them in Denatured Alcohol. I brush on a one pound cut as a sanding sealer. After sanding to 380 grit sandpaper I brush on three coats of two pound cut shellac. Sanding with 400 grit between coats. I finish by wiping on a finale coat of one pound which removes any brush strokes I might have missed. I buff with the Beal buffing system.
