trackman Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I agree with the others nice work! I think I liked it better before the oil. Stands out better. But don’t think I have heard of Sawbird blades. Were you get them? GPscroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawbird blades are sold here in Canada by the Canadian intarsia artist Garnett Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 GreatJob, but I too, like it better before the Oil. Some sort of clear non-yellowing finish may have been a better choice, My favorate is Lacquer. On another note, are you not worried about cracking and curling. I've worked with burl in the past, specificallly for turning bowls. Over time they get better with age, but all curl and crack. Was the slab you used dry...less than 6% moiture ? Most slabs need to be either kiln dried or stacked away to dry for a long time in order to become stable at less then 6% moisture.
