Well, I've started branching out from pens and have been turning a few lamps. This is a rough shaped Ash lamp that as you can tell has multiple worm/beetle holes. I love the character they give but am curious about finishes.
What steps would I need to take to get a nice glossy shine on this piece?
In my own research I'm thinking a varnish type finish, after prepping and filling the holes with most likely epoxy.
Has anyone here, come across a similar situation? What method do you recommend? Am I missing anything in my method above?
I'm fairly new to finishes, I"ve dabbled in CA finishes on pens, but felt something else might be in order for larger items.
