Use a stone or something heavy to keep the piece on the bottom and under the oil, and don't suck the bubbles through the top.

Here, I can explain it a bit.

It's one of these that I use with a pickle jar. 5/8 hole drilled in the lid with some marine teakwood oil as my liquid of choice.

Sure I can. But you'll have to wait until after the 29th when I'm back home. I'm in Phoenix Arizona by the south mountain on vaca.

The vacuum setup I use is very, very basic but does better than...

You should see what Richard has me gluing up now!
Another brush that's going to outdo this one.

Finished up last night. Decided to go with the old and then a wax finish on this one. Anything too glossy would be stealing away from this one. The Badger is a 28mm finest 2 band set at 50mm loft. I...

I've asked you many questions, I'm still learning. Is this the way you do it, or what was your answer?

PM sent.......

I trued up the bottom of the handle, then took a spear point tool and cut small circle recesses in towards the middle for the epoxy to grab onto. I made sure that I stayed away from the edge. The...

I got the Buff horn on the bottom last night and also put it into my vacuum chamber as well. This is how I've been sucking in my oil, cheap, easy and does a decent job at getting that oil deep into...

I'll post it when I get to it. I've been sucking in marine teak oil using a vacuum chamber. It's been working well. Let that cure for a week, Then a sanding sealer, friction polish, ren wax.

Had about a half hour today while my 2 girls were napping. I got the handle trued up, changed the top profile a bit, and got a hidden bark void filled with CA. I still need to cap the end, I'm still...

Wow! You must have been a bad boy!

It's Amboyna burl, indian ebony, and now also an unknown burl segment. This burl is definitely not an ironwood. It's on par with poplar for density.

This is a desert ironwood brush I did for...

Oh Geez the badger too. That's gut wrenching but it happens.

I literally just laughed out loud there Tom. To be honest I bought this huge candle holder at a garage sale for $5. It was a solid burl of some sort that I've chopped up.

A piece of unknown burl. Cut and sanded the two pieces flat. Using Titebond iii wood glue. I'll trim down the excess burl after its dry. Then back on the lathe to see if I can save...

Actually I hadn't hit it with paper yet. I was still in the shaping process. I was Epoxying in a button of Tagua nut in the end. I had it in and decided to give it another couple taps with the wood...
