I love your process on the top, Karl.  First rate - and beautifully executed.  Also, I may have commented on this in the past, but I love the rich nutty brown color of the wood.  What species are you using and what finish?  thanks,

Elsbeere from Germany: pearwood from Germany, if I remember correctly.

[Jeronimo]

Elsbeere from Germany: pearwood from Germany, if I remember correctly.

 

Hello Gaetan.

 

This is not exactly true.

Pear-wood and Elsberry are two different species of wood.

Elsberry is in Germany also Swiss-pear tree named.

Thank you, Karl, for the excellent explanation.  The process is very similar to what I do using Swiss pear, but I do not use sealer before the wax.  If the sealer is water based - and therefore probably acrylic - it will add no color.  If it is, for example, shellac based it will add some yellow to the color, as will most natural waxes.  The sanding sealer may account for some of the silky smooth surfaces in your work.  A very good method.  Regardless, your results are quite beautiful.  Thanks, again for taking the time to explain - and for the pictures.
