    Question To PAH1 Microwaving burr

    I'll be finishing turning a burr vase type bowl like the attached but with lots of deep cuts in the side to so that when I nuke it the layers will warp, and hollowed at the same width as the entry. I've had instruction on how to nuke it but was just wondering what to finish it with? Would a soft wax be suitable or just leave it finely sanded?

    Suggest something liquid like Rustin's Danish Oil. Can be applied off the lathe.

    Wax will build up in the grooves.

    Cool nuclear finish

    If yer finish is microwave friendly, such as a wax, you could nuke it after it's applied and the buildup in the cracks (mentioned above) can be induced to "melt" in. As always, give it a test run first, and consider whether heating the finish could create an explosive gas! I've done this before and it worked well....not the explosion part.....!!!

    Sorry for the delay, off air for a few days

    I use oil on burls, saves all the tedium with the cracks and usually finishes very well. I use Organoil High speed finishing oil, but other have other preferences. Lokks an interesting bit of wood however.
