Re: Another Aztec Calendar
That is quite nice John. Was there any problem with chipping out with the birch ply?

Re: Another Aztec Calendar
These are even more valuable now. Simply because we can still make them.

Re: Another Aztec Calendar
Not to claim jump here, but you can first finish with metallic copper paint - let dry for 24 hr - then rub in cherry gel stain. Shellac or poly when dry.John Murphy wrote:I like the finish. How did you do that?

Re: Another Aztec Calendar
First, I had no trouble with the Baltic birch chipping out. Sharp 90deg.1/2" v-bit -- no problem.
Baltic ... not local.
As for the finish, one coat bullseye sealer shellac, one coat clear minwax stain, followed within
a half hour with 230 Early American Minwax stain (wipe off surface for light accents), ( time for drying ), then more bullseye,
then a light high-light rub with Classic gold paint, then a couple more spray-on coats of Bullseye
or clear satin Krylon. Enjoy.
