I set up my camera this afternoon, have a few pieces to show.
This piece is 7" dia. X just over 8" tall. I almost waited too long but the wood was not too punky. There was quite a noticeable difference in hardness between the dark area and the lighter (I believe it is called "White Rot"). The dark to light transition goes right through the center at the opening. It has a few small voids; most of which are visible in this picture.
The finish on this piece was a multi-step process:
* Coated the light area with lacquer based sanding sealer to avoid color change.
* Applied thinned tung oil to bring out the color of the dark area.
* After a few days of drying, coated entire piece with lacquer based sanding sealer (2 coats)
* The weather was cool and damp, so I top-coated with WOP instead of lacquer.
* Buffed and waxed
Comments and critiques welcome.
