Hi All,
I'm new to woodturning and just finished my first NE hollow form. I have a couple questions regarding the finish for the piece that I could use some assistance with.
1. Do you apply finish to the natural edge (bark)?
2. This piece is out of maple, and I'm wondering what most people use on light woods. This isn't a piece that I'm going to be showing people so I'm using it just as a learning opportunity. The maple is plain and doesn't have any exciting grain, and I don't necessarily care if it remains a natural color.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
