Everyone stayed for Jake's presentation on finishing |
Jake covered surface preparation, techniques for application, and effectiveness of various commercial and "homebrew" finishes |
After covering the safety aspects, Jake started by reviewing "families" of finishes |
He had prefinished samples pieces with multiple finishes that could be compared |
|
|
|
|
|
Of particular interest was the durability of various families of finishes |
Finishing is usually the turners weakest skill |
The sample sticks were also colored to show the effect of finishes on various colors |
It was a great presentation on a very puzzling part of the hobby |
