a couple of wallstreet ll

[tommyd]

here are a couple of wallstreets the first one is cocobola tryed to do a herring bone but didn't like the way it came out. sanded to 24000mm than 5 coats of blo/ca sanding between coats. didn't like out come (first time doing ca finish) so I sprayed with defft. second one is a home brew. color is duo red-blue but didn't come out to red but it kind of turns color in the light.
all coments welcome

Just curious, did he Deft stick to the cocobolo?
And where did you find 24000 MM?

Very nice

I was just wondering if the oil in the cocobolo would interfere with the
lacquer, but you did CA first. Did that get sanded off? Or did you clean it
with alcohol or mineral spirits first? Just curious, I know lacquer can be
tricky depending on what it goes on..

That home brew is very sharp and nice job on the pens too!

I just lightly sanded final coat of ca and cleaned off with alchol than sprayed with deft. I'v uesd deft on cocobola before with out sealing and never had a problem. Mybe I'm just lucky so far

Good to know. I haven't done a lot of lacquer, but I know the surface
should be pretty clean so you don't get orange peel and other artifacts.
I'm sure the alcohol does the job .Good to know the oil doesn't cause a
problem. Thanks!
