    Default Sanding/Finishing the inside of a Burl

    G'day,
    I'm looking for advise on how to finish the inside of a Burl that is freeform in shape. I've got it down to a reasonably finish using the cupped buff (tyre buffer), but now I want some sort of sanding pad/buff that will free form to the curve of the bowl... any suggestions?

    Also what should I use to seal/finish the Burl?

    Thanks

    Rod

    You could try sanding pads in a drill
    here
    and work through the grits

    You will probably have to finish off hand sanding

    as for a finish, on possibility is a danish oil here
    or you could use a nitrocellulose spray on product

    I like the "cupped buff" . What is that? Does it have a grit in it?

    Also agree with danish oil. I put Trad wax over it as well. Nice and shiny without too much elbow grease.

    Googling "cupped buffer" or "tyer buffer only gets doughnut shaped ones.
