Good morning 🌅, I am not telling you what to do, but you might find watching Sprague Woodturning, I believe is in Canada, you might find him very helpful and give you a lot of ideas, Good luck on your quest,

Very nice looking bowl. How much moisture was in the wood? I’ve heard that when using resin your wood has to be like bone dry. After you did the first resin coat I was surprised you were able to wipe off any excess with a towel. I thought the resin would be so sticky it woulda just tore the towel apart. Did you put heat/torch shortly after to try and pop any bubbles forming? Last question, for the 3rd coat what sanding grits did you go thru? That 3rd coat looks flawless!

I’ll be trying for the first time an epoxy finish today! Got my Slow Turn Finishing rig complete and ready for its maiden voyage 😊
