Hello all !
i'm just getting back in to wood turning after about 15 years break, i say getting back in to but i never really did much other than 1 bowl and a honey dripper and that was back at school, but i was bitten by the bug so after a trip on to good old ebay i have a nice little set up on my shed ! i managed to buy a compleat set up form a poor chap that was to ill to carry on turning, (yes i did feel guilty) but i managed to get a lathe, extractor, a whole load of robert sorby turning tools and a load of wood for a very good price. My wife now classes her self as a lathe widow as i seem to spend as much time as possible in the shed !
But i do have a few questions, i think i have most of everything but is there anything that any of you good people would recommend for finishing ? i have some Briwax and some stuff in a pot that the chap gave me but it has no label or any way of telling what it is !!
Also where would anyone recommend to buy bowl blanks online ? i have not quite mastered the Green turning yet to get some free stuff so i think a few more go's on dried bought stuff so the wife can see something nice coming out of the shed !!
Thanks in advance !
