So with the sapele inlaid into the sycamore i have glued together top and bottom sycamore boards best i can and sanded using the sander gizzmo i built (see other thread).

I know you can still see the hole for the start where the blade went in, i tried to fill but not too successfully i see, so i want to finish it now but do not want to clean it with anything that might affect the mineral oil i have to go on at the end.

I would like the sapele to be better than it is too but again not sure what to do next, so i am asking for some pointers here how to move on please

many thanks
bernie

Thank you, i think its time i sat down with a professional scroller though as i have so many questions about where i am going wrong, i know that practise makes perfect but its also expensive :)
 
Hi

Very nice bit of work. What finish are you planning on using, you mention a mineral oil? I would suggest something like danish oil or, if you don't want to loose the whiteness of the sycamore, an acrylic lacquer.

Hi Chris
All it says on the bottle is:
'Original wood tops' 'mineral oil', what the experts use for chopping boards and butcher blocks
thanks
