Thread: The Orb of Mystery

I like these little spheres.

They invite people to pick them up and inspect them, like a good box.

The ones with burl that's been pressure hose cleaned look incredible.

I imagine you must have clothed on the Evolution Matte? I have just used part of my Satin sample on a flat piece of Rengas (interesting timber) and I used a 5mm nap Mohair roller. I'll see what it looks like tomorrow (separate thread).

I do like the way it didn't darken the timber very much at all - as you rightly say - let's show the timber, not the finish.

Btw, those samples pots are worth $8 each. The oil has the same base as PolyX I would say - exactly the same Fly Spray-like smell. They are both made in Chermany too.

Hello Brett, my reply below.

I like it Pat
