re: First attempt epoxy

Nicely done! Yeah, I’ll echo the comment that HSS for epoxy sucks. I’ve never been able to make them work well for me. I bought a small set of carbides for just that purpose. They work awesome! Although I still prefer HSS for pure wood turning. I just did a couple pens the other day, one of which was solid resin. The carbide just makes short work of it and the polishing is much easier when you don’t have to deal with a chip here or there! Nice bowl…that’s a big one to take on as your first resin turning!
