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. Attachment 272662Started by making the mirrored blanks.Attachment 272663 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.
