For a break from the pairs or sets of near identical floats worked on recently, I picked out one of the single floats awaiting finishing, a cork on cane waggler, on which I decided to experiment with some alternative whipping. Whipping for me up until now has been like Henry Ford's model T, available in any colour so long as it's black.
So, here it is in its raw form, looking a bit chintzy like an old school tie...
And a closeup after a couple of coats of sealer and 4 or 5 coats of lacquer.
Fortunately the red still mellowed a little despite the sealer, a couple more coats of lacquer to go and we're done
