Right now I'm practicing bowl turning with pine blanks that I glued up. Pretty soon though, I'll probably glue up some blanks from scrap cherry and ash and will be looking into other types of hardwood/exotics.
When I was at Dave's shop, he used boiled linseed oil and then some type of wax by Minwax to finish. I had planned on using those, but what other options have you all had success with? Also, for the pine bowls what should I use? I have some poly, but didn't want to use that because I just want to finish them once and not have to sand/refinish.
Thanks so much for the help. :notworthy:
