1. I'm going to make one of the plywood jigs for holding bowls while turning off the tenon on the bottom and finishng the bottom. Can I rough cut the plywood using a jigsaw and then turn the plywood round after it's mounted to the faceplate?
2. I have another 6"x6"x 6" glueup of maple/purpleheart/maple I want to turn into a bowl. Could or should I do the following:
a. wipe on BLO and buff using a paper towel while on the lathe..to pop the grain in maple and the color of the purpleheart.
b. Put on a coat of dewaxed shellac.........
c. follow with a coat or two of lacquer from a spray can
c. buff using the Beal system........
Any advice would be appreciated!
