Spalted Maple Finishing
I have just made four jewlery boxes with 3/4 splated maple set in a
walnut frame for a top. I learned that sanding the wood does not work because of the black lines getting spread around. Using a cabinet scrapper I got the surface cleaned up. There seems to still have some wax sealer impregnated into the wood but mostly gone. I was going to finish one with clear shellac, 1 boiled linseed oil, 1 waterlox, 1 minwax tung or 1812 the canadian tung. Any suggestions with finishing Spalted maple is appreciated. I do have varnish and poly in the shop. I hope that these finishes wont yellow the white background. What would make the colored lines pop the most as well as seal from future rotting. |
