This isn’t my first time working with California Pepper as regular readers may recall. As was the case with the first blank, all of these blanks feature checks and natural voids, in some of these bowls this checking is quite extensive. Fortunately, these blanks cut cleanly as did the first blank I worked with since major sanding is essentially impossible with voids of this extent.<\/p>\n
I have chosen to not apply a finish at this point due to the checking. Instead, as I have done with a Manzanita<\/a> burl piece (not posted as of yet), I will ship these off to Dad for a final sprayed varnish finish. Spraying is really the only truly effective form of finishing that I can think of for extensively checked pieces but I don’t have the equipment to do it properly. Spray finish from aerosol cans just doesn’t really cut it in my opinion. Once these pieces are finished I will photograph them and post updated pictures.<\/p>\n
