Denny Knappen Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 My wife's step sister and husband are celebrating their 50th anniversary. I thought this would make a great gift. The pattern is by Sue Mey and purchased from her website. I used 1/4" Cherry plywood and backed it with 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood staind red with Samen stain. It is approximately 9" in diameter. The blades were FD New Spiral #3/0 and UR #1. The finish is one coat of sanding sealer and one coat of spray Shellac. Using the water based Samen stain eliminated the gluing problem.

I'm sure they will love it. dave Edited April 4, 2017 by Dave Monk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Monk Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Yes, Dave, but with a light sanding with the Mac Mop, nice and smooth. Sorry for all the questions...........Where do you purchase it? I watched a utube on it and they were recommending to apply it with a foam brush. Could you apply it with a regular brush to get down into fret work? Thanks, dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the project was complete, I immersed it in a sanding sealer, 50% Shellac and 50% Denatured Alcohol. After dried, buffed lightly with a Mac Mop, then sprayed with Shellac. If your question is where did I purchase the Mac Mop, Klingspors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordster Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Love it Denny The cherry wood with the red backer really sets it off. Good to hear the water based stain aids with gluing issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
