Storm Trooper Bowl

Finally finished the Storm Trooper Bowl.

I decided to varnish this one instead of oiling, however I had some very old ordinary varnish and the 3rd and 4th coats went horribly wrong. The solvent for whatever reason wrecked the previous layers and I ended up with a gummy mess that wouldn't cure.

So I spent two afternoons trying to get varnish off of an intricate bowl...this was a horrible horrible horrible job. The end result isn't as nice as I'd like...I got sick of re-working what I'd already done. :( There are tool marks all over it, however I'm done with sanding!

So back to oil.

The others are a couple years old now, so got a re-coating also.
