Hey, all!
I finally have my work area set up with dust collection and all, and I'll start turning this weekend if I can make some time! I haven't yet bought any finishing products and with so many different products available it's rather confusing. And since most are not cheap, I don't want to buy things that have a very bold look or are difficult to use well.
So, to learn I plan to start with some simpler spindle items like a coffee scoop handle, candlesticks, ring holder, etc. What are some of your favorite all-around finishes that aren't too expensive? I'm thinking moderate gloss. I'd like get just a couple of products that I can use on multiple types of items with nice results. I don't want to spend a bunch more $$ on a wide variety; I'll collect and experiment as I learn and develop preferences.
Thanks!
