Blo

[silver]

Hi Terry,
Merv is right, everyone on here with experience of BLO/CA method will tell you a different way each time. But it's trial and error. Mainly error at first..

I could tell you another way and a different abrasive but that won't help you, what Merv has given you is a basis for a start and it will work once you find that knack..

The only thing I will say is use cones if you have them, otherwise you might just have problems of getting the bushes off.

If you like it and any customers you may gleam on the way like it then make it work for you.

However remember some really like that "wood feel" that you don't get when using CA.

That is the problem for me. I don't like the "glass like" finish. I want my wooden pens to look like wood. I get a good shine, but they don't have that "plastic" look.

I also find that the CA is more glass-like without the BLO.
