    Default Red Lacquer

    A friend and I have decided that our church needs a new cross to replace the current treated pine one. He has someone to make the cross out of speckleback (I haven't heard of it but there's a lot I don't know...).

    My friend, being a whiz with wrought iron will be making a vine which will double as a holder as the cross will need to be put away because we use the school hall.

    Anyway, I put my hand up to do the finishing and we've envisaged a nice deep red lacquer as in those carved chinese chests.

    Any advice on achieving the finish would be appreciated.

    You should ring Mirotone in your state & see what colours are available.

    You can use shellac coloured with universal tint to get the colour you require. Works a treat is easy to apply and looks great.
