A finishing problem - SceneryMaker - 11-16-2017
SWMBO wants a tall, skinny, Maple, segmented vase that is dyed bright red. The problem is that the skinny neck is open segments while the body and lip are closed segments. Since I "justified" my new lathe to make this piece (I said SHE wants it, remember?) the time has come to do it.
I've never done an open-segment piece so here's my question. How do I finish the visible holes in the open segments? That end grain won't take dye the same way the edge grain on the outside does and I can't polish it smooth. I'm tempted to spray the inside and end faces black before glue-up.
Any advice for the novice?
Thanks.
SM

You might want to post this question on the Woodturning firm. You'd probably get a better response than here on the Power Tools forum.
