Hello Everyone, I made my first legacy project ever a few months ago. I made a barley twist candlestick holder and screwed up the base so I modified it from the instructions because I did not have any more wood to try it again. It was made out of Red Heart and I was not sure what to finish it with so I just used the Beall Buffing system that uses Tripoli, White Diamond, and Carnauba Wax. It turned out amazingly shiny and smooth but I am not sure how long the finish will last. I would like to have used something that would penetrate into the pores of the wood to water proof it somewhat (possibly shellac?) before polishing it and putting the final polish of carnauba wax on it. I want to make some out of pine next time.
I would like to have your (the group) input on what finish to use for future projects. I am going to make some hollow sprial candlestick holders, some rope twist and barley twist canes and walking sticks in the near future. I love using my legacy mill and I sure appreciate this group. I learn so much from reading the discussions and seeing the pictures of your projects. Wow! What a group of talented craftsmen! Thanks for sharing.
