    Since so many people are asking, here are the choices for the finishing on the slate I used. I had 2 finishes the customer could choose from. One was 3 coats of plain Shellac that I would scuff the final coat, and the other was a custom blend of beeswax pellets and cutting board oil (70/30) that I cooked in a crockpot, poured into in a 4oz can, where it resolidified. The wax/oil I sold separately as an upsell item for $6.00. Most folks chose the wax.

    Happy Memorial Day. Brilliant video with outstanding advice. The concept of advertisement was excellently explained. My problem is to determine what my time is worth (usually underestimate myself). I am now using the Roly, so how much time will I have on the laser before I have to replace it (I guess I need to consider laser time in my selling price). Rich, keep your youtubes coming, they are awesome!

      You can't JD. I used to get them from a wholesaler in TX, but they're gone now, which is why I use Michaels. Black Pearl slate was mined in TX from the 1920's to the 1960's. A company reopened part of the abandoned Whitestone Quarry, in Whitestone, TX in 2017, but he shut down in 2021 due to the Covid fiasco.
