Thank you for taking the confusion out of "which finish to use?". I watched this twice, taking notes the second time. Great information, Kent and you have a knack for making it all understandable.

[EllwoodSunnell]

Very well done! Thorough explanations like this really make for wonderful work, happy people, and natural beauty.

Thanks for the videos. They're a little long, and you don't change the video much, so it feels super slow, so thank you for creating the timeline areas, so I can skip to the important parts.

I am in awe at your service of information

[brianerickson]

Kent, that alcohol is used for making extracts such as used in baking and cooking. You would steep vanilla, or lemon peels or lavender flowers in it, for example, then you would add in small amount to baked goods, desserts, etc. I like to make an extraction of chilies to use in soups and sauces.

It's manufacturers don't give you all the info u need so that you go back to them when u hv issues with their products. Just like some woodworkers want you to join to get some insights into their model of craftsmanship. 🎉 thanks for the info.

Thank you, Kent. My understanding is that shellac, like lacquer, melts into the previous layer.

Hey Kent that turned out great. I always enjoy watching and waiting for your next project again Outstanding job Brother

My two favorite bowl finishes are walnut oil (either Mahoney's or Doctor's Woodshop brands) and Deft Clear Wood Finish, which is an oil-based, brushing lacquer. Both are easy apply on the lathe.

I like to wet-sand with walnut oil as the lubricant. By the time I've worked through the grits, the piece has been both sanded and finished. Walnut oil, like boiled linseed oil, leaves a nice, soft, 'natural' looking finish. Walnut oil is a naturally hardening oil, like tung oil and linseed oil. Walnut oils sold as wood finishes are heat treated to help the oil harden more quickly.

I apply Deft brushing lacquer liberally brush, wait a few seconds, and then wipe off the excess with a paper towel. It dries to the touch quickly and you can put on another coat in 15 minutes. I generally apply three coats, depending on the look I'm going for. I also cut Deft 50/50 with lacquer thinner and use it as a sanding sealer. It works very well and dries almost immediately.

Thank you for your clarity Kent. There is so much that I now understand about finishes.

[RoySofield]

Hey Kent, I greatly enjoyed this video. Thank you for this information…you know that I am interested in this aspect of wood turning. I will be making use of this in my shop shortly.

Good video, Kent. KISS is often the best way to do many things. Rather than mention the various finishes I have tried and/or use - I will simply say that the one thing you mentioned I have never tried and probably never will use, is the "can of worms"

[bradwagner]

Hey Kent, love your videos. I've been using tried and true original on my bowls. I follow the directions closely. I've noticed that after using the bowls one or two times and washing that the grain raises slightly, leaving the bowl feeling rough. Have you experienced this? And suggestions for how to avoid or fix it? Thanks!!

[drpaul]

great video- If you want to finish the bowl with an oil, would you use shellac as a sanding sealer first??
thanks

[greglapp]

That's what I was asking for. Thank you.

[bobbynash]

This lm absolutely, positively sure l need help with. Some things bother my wife with smells. This is by far the best help lve gotten so far, thanks.

[GregCrumbliss]

Great video. I personally use shellac as a tool and waterlux gloss as a finish. I'm still new so I plan on trying Danish oil also. I'm recovering from bariatric surgery right now so your videos are keeping me entertained.

[scottmedori]

Very informative video- thank you. I have used all of these finishes. The biggest lesson I learned is to pick a couple products, and stick to them. 6 months or a year after finishing something, I can’t remember what I used. Not usually a big deal, but a wax finish will dull/dry out over time, and may need to be re-coated.

[joshuaroberts]

Can you create a glossy finish with the tried and true. Love the videos

[tielkgate]

Kent, Excellent review/presentation of finishes. Obviously, you have put in a great deal of time researching and becoming knowledgeable regarding this subject.
Lac Bug "GUNK" ? I had to laugh at that 😅, but you're actually spot on.
I had always wondered why my dad, who loved making furniture and cabinets, loved using shellack for many things over varnish. Sure, he used other finishes, but he loved shellack. He had a great family friend who owned a hardware store and mentored him in many things like this. I am happy to thank you for mentoring us on what finishes work well for woodturners.
