FAQs
Q1 – Should you apply the oil/wax after or before Burnishing?
Answer - We would recommend applying oil or wax after burnishing.
Q2 – When burnishing the bowl of a spoon, should you burnish with or across the grain?
Answer - You can rub up and down and round and round and across every which way. What it is actually doing is compacting the fibres back in on themselves. Go nuts. Just make sure to support any thinner/vulnerable sections of your piece so as not to crack or break it.
Q3 - What do I do if my burnisher gets dirty or has a raised grain that is leaving marks on the wood?
Answer - You can rub your burnisher back with some fine wet and dry sandpaper to clean it up or remove raised grain/grit. We recommend doing this under running water or in bowl to avoid creating ceramic dust.

It's alright, but it required finessing as some edges and surfaces are a bit sharp and gauge the wood when burnishing. For this price I was expecting it to be more refined. Other than that it works great once the sharp and irregular surfaces have been sanded off
