Quiet public

No photos today; when I inspected the bowl this morning, I figured it’s about as good as I’m going to get it, so I started applying some Tried & True Varnish Oil. Got the first coat on and buffed out, and now it has to sit until tomorrow before I can scuff it with 0000 steel wool, and apply another coat.

I also cut some live oak scraps into equilateral triangles. I’ll cut some similarly-sized walnut or bubinga triangles. Plan is a big hexagonal blank which will be part of a bigger project.

Called the bowl done today, after getting tired of the long cure times with Tried and True Varnish Oil and switching to Birchwood Casey TruOil gunstock finish on the outside. I think it came out looking pretty good. #WoodTurning #Resin
