What's new

Yeah That is a Piece of Wood

No added colors just natural wood . CA glue for the finish.

The coloring is really great on it.

I've never used CA as a wood finish before. Does it add anything to the coloring? I guess it would be similar to just using a regular clear acrylic, right?

No it is clear and does not change the color at all.
 
@G.W. - some do a mix of BLO and CA which will change the color. I say if you want to add an oil, do it before the sanding sealer (if needed) and leave the CA alone.

@Graydog - I keep coming back to look at that gorgeous piece of timber. I think this is the most beautiful one yet. The crosscut grain is quite the piece of candy.
 
It is a piece of African Rose wood and I decided to turn it around and use the end grain.
I have found a Bird in it and some sand dunes , I love wood ,you sometimes find the coolest things in the grain.

SPECTACULAR! I keep going back, enlarging the photos and finding more and more I love about the grain of the wood. Well done!
