New guest. Not a pen turner, but am a creative wood user. I was finally clued in about this I.A. when I asked the right woodworker about the amazing images of stabilized wood I was seeing. http://www.penturners.org/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif
Here's where I'd love to pick your brains. Can I use the cactus juice/vacuum stabilizing method as a finish; not as just stabilizer before tooling?
I sculpt (i guess) in wood, the biggest being about 3' x 3'. Never been satisfied with hand rubbed tung/danish. This acrylic replacement has me excited for both the color & the strength it would give "spindlier" ideas.
Appreciate in advance any experience you all are willing to share with a fellow creative wood pusher.
