>Nice job Phil. Nice flowing curves. Isn't cherry a dream to turn? I just finished a few minutes ago forming a largish (12") hollow form from fresh cut cherry. Smells so great!

How many coats of lacquer went on there? Looks great. Any seal coat beforehand? How high did you sand it, grit wise?

>That critter gun gave you those results? I may have to drop $40 on one. Think my utility pancake air compressor can handle it? The reqs looked pretty low.

>My spray gun of choice is a Minwax poly spray can. Don't knock it. It gives great results. And I have a choice of satin or gloss.
