I have a need for an odd finish that I'd like to solicit the Forum's thoughts on...
I'm turning a piece that has a lot of very rough natural surfaces in it, but there will also be the finished turned surfaces. I want it to be completely black (inspired by the AW article last year) and the turned surfaces will be polished with small buffing wheels and Beall compound.
I was thinking about using multiple coats of black lacquer, but how would I get a good application on both the natural and turned surfaces? Does anyone make an aerosol can of the stuff? What about thinning the lacquer and using a pump sprayer to apply the stuff?
Is there another finish besides black lacquer that anyone can think of?
As always, the advice here is much appreciated.
