Pauley 411 Report post #1 Posted January 16 I finished this Curley maple vase. It stands about 11 inches tall. I sanded it to 12000 grit, then hit it with triple e and the final finish was Aussie Oil. Once I finished this, it gave me an idea that I may try for another vase.... 5 Artie, HARO50, p_toad and 2 others reacted to this Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerald 7,661 Report post #4 Posted January 16 Looking good there . Why did you go to 12000, Special finish? Yes I have done it but usually to finish the finish only. Have now learned better ways to get there. But yes the high grits do put the touches on a gloss finish. If using lacquer you can try Beal Buff with about 800 rpm and see what you can get that high speed will just take off the finish totally. I can see you are having fun.

Leaves a very nice shine and it seems to last better than the wax stuff I used to use. 2 Gerald and p_toad reacted to this Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
