  1. After sanding, whilst you are happy with the shape and finish of the wood; use a sponge and remaining saw dust.
  2. Then using a number 2 flat brush, start painting rings while it's on the lathe.
  3. Do so till you are happy with the colour. (Suggestion:Use Acrylic colours because it dries quickly and it retains the shine of the colour.)
  4. After painting slowly remove the piece with a parting tool.
