Woodturning: Finish Pepper Mill Body

Video Transcript

"What we will be doing in this segment is applying a final finish to the body of the pepper mill. I use a shellac based friction polish that has a wax component. As before we will do the cracks. I like to keep it rotating, just apply the rag to smooth it and then we'll add quite a bit on to the rag. We want to get it almost soaking. If you have found that you had the sealer not even you will find that this will even out the finish. Once you have got it on the full body add more to the pad, turn the machine on and hold it with some pressure and you will start seeing, you will start getting a shiny surface. You may need to add a little bit more. If you find that you are getting lines across you don't need to worry about it, it is just a build up. You just add a little more heat and spread the finish out."
