I've been turning for about 9 years and have made hundreds of bowls. But so far, only about a dozen spindle turned items, and 11 of them were tool handles.
But I've been asked to make some snowmen. Picture below is my first one, inspired by some that Curt Fuller posted on other forums.
I'd like to hear suggestions for easy to use finishes. I'm thinking that the wipe on ones that I usually use (wipe on poly or Antique Oil) would be more trouble than necessary.
So what do folks use for items like this? Perhaps while they are still on the lathe?
Thanks,
Dave
