Finished this bowl up yesterday. I consider it kinda a "stock" item and generally try and have a few similar to it stored for when needed. I burned a couple of decorative lines on the rim area. I did my usual sealing with a couple of coats of walnut oil and finished it with a couple of coats of a walnut oil/shellac mix. Just enough shellac to give a bit more sheen, though not sure it needed it. After sanding it to 600 grit I buffed it with a handful of like shavings. Gives the wood a nice natural sheen all of it's own without anything applied to it. Works for me and my customers. You can still feel the grain as I did not mix the shellac very heavy. It's 8 1/4" diameter, 3" high, 2" deep, and 4 cups volume measured to the brim. Hopes ya likes it!
