This piece was rough turned two years ago but instead of finish turning to round, I decided to sand everything and leave the natural warp that happened while drying. Sanded to 280 grit inside and out, then sealed with de-waxed shellac. The exterior was given multiple coats of wipe-on poly and then rubbed down to the bare wood using 0000 steel wool. Exterior was then given a couple of coats of Conservator’s Wax and hand buffed. The interior was given 2 coats of black gesso and sealed with a spray matte acrylic.
Dimensions are 13” high, 12” diameter x ˝” thick.
