Meeting Jan 25/11
Attendance:
Murphy, Rick, J Hiltz, J MacLean,Chris, Matt, Frank, Miles, Mike MacLean, two new members
Leo went over the proper way to use the skew again demonstrating how to shape a square stock into a round finish..
Leo demonstrated several techniques on how to fill and finish wood, using the larch cutting boards as examples as well as a piece of ash.
1 Use acrylics to fill the wood, especially open grain wood. 2:1 Acrylic cement bond is used first. This is a watery thin liquid and is painted on thoroughly. Follow this with Dural concrete weld,, a thicker solution. Wet sand it right away and the sand dust is driven into the pores. Cabosil can also be sprinkled on to make a thicker paste.
2 Urethane Oil Finish can be used to fill the pores. Brush it on and sand it into the pores. Again Cabosil can be used here. The result when dry is sanded off and stains can be applied. Aniline dye stains work well.
3 Filling in holes in wood: one can use a filler such as: whiting (ground chalk), Tempera, Limestone, Medusa cement (white), Portland cement. These can be mixed to produce desired colour. Add concrete bond and make a paste. This is filled into the defect and let dry. it will be rock hard. Use this technique over partly finished wood so that it does not spread around too widely around the blemish.
The group decided to start a candlestick (matching pair) project next.
