Old Burl finish question


LarryEA

Recommended Posts

I was given an old burl and I have cut it into sections.

It is old and is heavy spalted. I used spray lacquer on a piece and noticed that not all sections take the finish the same. I had one piece that kept absorbing and did not ever look like I put anything on it even after I soaked it in BLO.

Should I try spray wax? There are nooks and cranies and a worm hole or two.

Thanks all
