Piece #379 – Poplar – Calcite Inlay Band – 10″ by 6.5″ – SOLD

 

This piece has a blue Calcite inlaid band along the bottom. Finished using red and blue milk paint with a lacquer finish. I sanded the bowl to 320 grit sandpaper. Sealed it with a one pound cut of shellac. The first coat of paint was blue and the second coat was red. When it was completely cured (24 hrs.) I sanded through the red to expose some blue and also some raw wood. Finished it with three coats of spray lacquer. After curing I buffed it with 0000 steel wool and completed it on the Beal Buffing System.
