HF, Candy Apple Red #2

[Steve Schlumpf]

Spalted White Birch, dyed with Ritz Red Crimson, 9 ¼” diameter x 4 ½” high, sanded to 400 grit, 8 coats of Minwax Wipe-On Gloss Poly. It will get buffed after waiting a week or so for the finish to cure.

I tried a number of different settings for the lights when taking the photos and they all produced significant glare…so, sorry about that – but it is really really glossy! The multiple cracks in the piece were left as is for effect!

Steve that is beautiful. How did you handle the inside? It looks like you dyed it black or painted it black. Thanks Steve.

Steve that is really a nice piece. I have played with coloring a bit but never have been happy with the results. You did an excellent job on the coloring, and of course the turning is top notch.

Steve, try a circular polarizer lens on your camera. I couldn't believe how much it cut down the glare.

Very nice HF Steve, I enjoy looking at your work.

Steve:

Outstanding! One suggestion - if you are using a flash, try turning it off.
