Running out of time to finish a bowl made from walnut tree my daughter and her husband cut down. It was green when I turned it and began cracking as soon as I turned it. I did the only thing I knew to do....I put it in a paper sack then a second and 3rd sack. Took it out recently and having left a face plate on it was able to turn it thinner and true it up somewhat.
My usual finish of Tung oil finish was not an option with so little time so I did what someone on this forum suggested...I sprayed it with shellac. That sealed it but did not bring out the beauty of walnut I'm used to.
With just days to finish what could I do to add a deeper, darker finnish? Thank you
