This is the first set of scales that I am making from start to finish. I decided to use a turning blank of ziricote due to the patterns that I seen on it, thought that it would make some good looking scales. Name: IMG_0546.jpg Views: 268 Size: 65.8 KBStarted by making the mirrored blanks.Name: IMG_0547.jpg Views: 275 Size: 70.8 KB then cutting and sanding the basic shape. Now to profile them, finish sand and seal them. My question is what would a good durable finish that would also stay very clear so the natural look of the wood is preserved. I don't want the finish to darken or become cloudy. Thanks in advance for the help.
