Ed Moulthrop (1916-2003) was a self-taught wood turner, known as the "father of modern woodturning". ... He was most famous for his large scale turned bowls, made from domestic woods, usually spherical or elliptical with polished clear finishes. The finishes the Moulthrop’s use are what I am requesting the AAW bowl turning community to share their insights on. Please watch the attached video link below on the Moultroup’s bowl turning legacy an techniques. Focus on frames after the 2:30 minute mark. I am assuming that the finish is standard epoxy but how do they control the viscosity and clarity. Also shown in the video is the family’s design of a drying apparatus. Does anyone have a smaller version of the apparatus. The quick release system from the lathe and attachment to the drying machine is unique in itself. Share what you know or can deduce from the video.
