Very nice Drew. Are the rings on the bottom a foot or a decoration in a slight depression? I’ve done a few Maple bowls lately and find that Maple (or is it just light coloured wood?) shows sanding scratches much more than dark wood, at least Black Walnut. Did you find this to be true? I ended up sanding my last Maple bowl, going from 100 to 1200, three different times because, after I wet it with DNA, I could see scratches. I wet sanded with BLO and 600 grit before going back and starting over with 100.
Being a glutton for punishment I just picked up five more figured Maple rounds about an hour ago.
