One of the pleasures of attending Arrowmont this summer was looking at their gallery pieces by the greatest names in wood turning past and present. One of the things I noticed was that very few pieces were finished with anything other than some light wax. This made me wonder, how do you choose a finish for your pieces and does it fit the piece or, does it fight for attention. Any chance for some enlightened discussion here?
PS: I was absolutely amazed by the pieces by J-F Escoulen!
