Well this is the first time I turned burl wood and the first time for CA/BLO. The wood seemed to be no big deal turning but the finish was a different story. Watched videos on youtube so I would at least have an idea of what I was doing. The first coat of CA was going ok until the blank decided it was cold and needed a coat of CA and paper towel. I stop the lathe and what a mess. I picked off what I could then had to sand off the remaining bits. After learning the "feel" of things it did not go to bad. I ended up with six coats but had to sand to get ripples out of finish. Although there are some small ripples left. Still need a LOT of practice. The wood is cherry burl by the way.
