Sanding sealer as a sealer

[jpt]

I am rough turning some burrs they are very wet as the tree only came down a month ago so once turned I seal them and put them away to dry.

I do not like using wax or PVA on them as some always gets into the holes in the burr and is impossible to get out and shows up in the final finish.

In the past I have tried various oils with mixed results so I am trying to find some other form of sealer. I had a thought that maybe a couple of coats of shellac sanding sealer might do the job has anyone tried this?

regards

I don't see why not. I've used clear poly varnish in the past. The only thing I would be worried about would be trapping dirt etc. which might not be too good for the abrasives come finishing.
