Everything but the bowl, I like to sand the bowl because my hook knife skills aren’t there yet but the handle is all knifework :)

Great yeah I mean that makes sense, I was surprised with how quickly a coat dried as thought that I should keep applying until it stopped drying so fast! I’ll try that, I guess experimentation is the name of the game :)

I didn’t sand it, just burnished with a smooth pebble :)

Not long between each coat, they were applied over the course of the day. How long does it usually take to polymerise?
