    Default Stained Field Maple

    First turning of this year. Made for our club competition.

    Field Maple and measures 7 1/4" X 2" and has some light ripple in the bottom, sanded to 600grit and then wiped over with water and given a final sand of 600grit to de-nibed. Chestnut spirit stain applied with paint brushes and acrylic satin varnish was used as a sealer because I ran out of proper sealer. Final coats are Acrylic gloss lacquer. I left the bottom of the foot as plain wood.

    Started this Tuesday and only just finished and ready for the competition is tomorrow, I like to cut it fine and if any stage goes wrong I go into panic mode

    It is from a spray can. I gave it many coats but only very thin making sure that there is no dust around as even the smallest piece of dust can spoil the finish. Just before the final coat I wet and dry sanded with 1200grit using water with a very small drop of washing up liquid this gives it a very smooth surface for the final coat and also takes any grease from fingers off of the piece.
