I'm having, yet another, problem with some of the stuff I've turned.
I sand and finish the piece, apply the wax polishing up and it's great. Beautiful seamless transitions that you can't feel at all. I have under my desk a vase that I've made for my wife and it's gone from this seamless jointing to something where I can feel every single joint. It's been a week since it was completed. I had a similar problem with another piece I did but that was fine for about 3 weeks before I could feel the joints.
The wood I'm using has been sitting in the house for months. I just cut it, glue it and then the following day turn and finish it. I'm using 502 wood glue if that matters.
I'm really not sure what to do to prevent this, obviously a failing of my process.
For the existing vase should I just remove the wax, re-sand and finish it again or is it a more fundamental problem?
