well, i'm finally prepared to try out a bowl. question regarding the finish...
i figure with the technique i've decided to use, it will be hard to finish it while on the lathe... i.e. if i have to put the foot back into the chuck to finish the inside, won't i damage the final turn i just accomplished on the foot? maybe i'm missing an obvious solution to this problem like using a cloth to wrap around the foot or something before chucking it a second time?
or would i just save myself some headaches with finishing it by hand off the lathe? any suggestions on a nice oil finish? i've heard some good things about liberon oils but haven't purchased anything yet, thought i'd get some input from the masters...
thanks!
