Update on the kakishibu coloring. Here’s before and after photos after two days of about 3 hours each day in full Santa Fe sunlight, though there were some clouds, so the UVIndex didn’t get much above 8. The angles are slightly different, but the difference in color is pretty striking. I’m going to give it a few more days before I write up a web page about this, but I think I’ve found a new finishing technique!

Got a coat of tung oil on my corner-clamp box this evening. Golly, I think I like the kakishibu finish, especially using it to tone down the green in poplar. It’ll be interesting to see what this looks like after it gets some sunshine. Front and top in the first photo, and then the untreated (just oiled) poplar bottom on the second photo so you can see what a difference it made.

Writer’s Diary #12: Finishing a Draft
Yesterday I finished a draft of the Introduction, printed it, and re-read it with an eye for editing. Now, with a draft, the question is what’s next? Bits are great. Parts suck. The chapter is unfinished. But, I need a change. The question for the diary: should I stay with it or should I go?

In my experience, writing is iterative work: slow

Have reached the point in finishing where it was time to sign my work. This mismatched set of seven bowls is getting closer to getting stuffed in a box and sent away.

Customer picked up the table so I didn't get any beauty shots. I kinda hate working with stain in general, and especially stain that contains plastic, so after the mate to this table is made I'll probably never touch the stuff again. Overall pleased with the outcome, and glad I experimented with the legs how I did. They're 3 3/4 boards where the middle had a gap cut before laminating so that it created a through-tenon with no chopping.

I'm sorry, but I pimp out Lee Valley at every opportunity, & I have Barry White stuck in my head. :) Beware: I have literally never used this product. YMMV.

@lockwood Same advise as Jami Gibs. Have done it many times on elderly tops. My favourite oil is Hardwax Oil from Chestnut. Be careful, do it fast - wipe and polish at once! I use it on both refurbished and new tabletops. This one is twosome of same plank glued together.
Edit: Does not look veneered to me but if – take care. My quess it's floorplanks glued together with stain on to make it look like hardwood. Thats why the worn spot…

This evening's notes rescue was collecting my various notes on kolrosing and chinkin-bori (aka 沈金彫り) in one place. It's not exactly but it's related and it's definitely a topic.
