Hello, thank you so much for sharing your post, your work is awesome,very nice pieces, hope you are doing well.
My wife and I are just starting in the woodturning world and we like working with segmented wood, we are mixing different kinds of wood considering its texture, color and grain. We are always looking information for the best finish technics, we love natural finishes but for segmented wood, according to our research, CA glue is the best way to go. We start with 2 coats of thin Parfix and then 6 coats of medium Instabond, finally Micro mesh.
Recently we have changed for bob smith medium odorless which is also more flexible and feels better quality, now we have ordered also the thin BS because we read that it's better not to mix brands.
In the process of learning we have seen a video that shows that after the micro mesh sanding and polishing process there are 2 more steps one is Ack's polishing abrasive and then a marine polish and sealant super gloss.
What do you think and what are your recommendations for segmented wood?
I'm attaching some pictures of our work.
