Forgot to say: In that photo, the 4 quadrants are:
-Near left: 0000 Steel wool (Liberon)
-Near right: untouched, full gloss
-Far left: dry brushed 4F pumice
-Far right: dry brushed rottenstone
The test surface was about 5 coats of (I’d guess) 1 pound dewaxed shellac sanded flat with 320, then a couple coats of even thinner shellac padded on. No grain filling.
Hope this doesn’t go off the rails and away from brushes. Ah, this is the practice piece I used to learn to carve thumbnails on curved edges. I can do them now without all the dipsy doodle scalloped pockmarks. 🙂
