New go to finish

[Dave Monk]

I have learned so much from all you guys here at the village. Thanks so much.

When someone mentions a product I buy it and try it and see if I like it better than what I am using. I must admit that I have a few opened containers of product product that I might was well pitch because it I wasn't for me. I have four different types of sanding mops. I use them all depending on what I'm making.

My go to finish on plaques is SW pre catalyzed lacquer. I spray it clear or in colors. I have tried everything and I keep going back to it. It isn't a great process for doing small pieces like this .  I have found that I like using Watco Danish Oil followed up with a coat of Bees Wax and mineral oil. Special thanks to Kevin for doing the video of how to make it.

Just your usual beautiful work, Dave.  As always, super scrolling and finishing.

[Gonzo]

I like using Danish oil and I like using Kevin's concoction. Never thought of combining the two. I'll have to give it a try. Cool clock by the way. 

[Rockytime]

Well the finish on that great looking clock is perfect. Nice Job!
