This one was a pain, from beginning to end. It warped a lot as it dried, to the extent that I'm lucky to have a disk all in one plane. It came off the lathe and cracked. It had yellow CA stain on another crack. It's held together by epoxy and white glue. I washed it with Transtint golden brown dissolved in DNA, then used the same brush to seal coat it in shellac. The dye effectively hid the CA stain and popped the grain a little. I originally finished it in gloss WOP, but added a top coat of satin WOP. The gloss showed too many of my errors, which are legion in this piece.
