oooooohhhh - I like it.
Low gloss finish, I assume. What finish did you use?

I applied 3 coats of Waterlox Original Satin, topped with one application of Renaissance wax.

Beautiful Ed. The proportions are great, the grain is really nice.

 

[Wilsoncb]

The grain and shape came together perfectly. Very nice.

 

[JNCarr]

Great shape - looks parabolic - were you shooting for that?

 

[Ed Fasano]

Thank you. I had a rough idea of what i wanted, but Ican't say that parabolic was the target.

 

[Graywolf]

That really came together nicely. Be proud and keep up the good work!

 

[Ed Fasano]

Thats very kind. Thank you!

I use a lot of Waterlox but don't know this wax. Where did you buy it and how long did you wait to apply after last coat of Waterlox? I ask since I tried Briwax over Waterlox and that was a disaster as it reacted with the Waterlox. Is this Renaissance wax known for being compatible with waterlox or did you wait a month for the waterlox to fully cure. Appreciate any insight

 

[Ed Fasano]

I cannot guarantee that Renaissance wax is specifically compatible with Waterlox. I just know that I haven't had any problems with it. Craft Supplies and Klingspors carry it. A little goes a long way, which is good because a tiny can is over $25. I typically wait until I'm reasonably confident that any topcoat has cured before applying wax. I give Waterlox at least 24 hours. Unlike many paste waxes, Renaissance dries very quickly and buffs out easily by hand. This makes it easy to reapply a coat if the need arises. As a bonus, it has a tolerable aroma.
That's my 2-cents worth, which might be overpriced.

That's a beautiful shape Ed. And the way you aligned the grain adds to it. Well done!

Very nice piece Ed

Love the proportions and the grain orientation!
I too am a fan of the Renaissance micro-crystalline wax. Fun fact : it can be used on leather too.

That's a perfect piece of walnut for that form.
