Hi Mitch,

Are you finishing you bowls on the lathe???

There are a lot of finishes made for doing just that. Mylands makes an excellent friction polish. You wipe it on, put some on a rag, fire up the lathe and polish with the wet cloth. You would be amazed how the grain jumps out at ya....:thumbsup: :thumbsup: I also use just plain bee's wax..wipe it on and let it dry and fire up the lathe and polish with a soft cloth...

Ya wanna make a real mess...??? Try finishing with CA glue with the lathe running.....You'll wanna get some pictures of that.....:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Oil is a great finish too....:yes: :yes:

Jill is working on making a set of maple dinner plates for our everyday use. She uses walnut oil for a finish for all our food related turnings...They look great, I'm just not very good at keeping them oiled :no: :no:

I love a shine on my pine...

You should try a CA glue finish...at least once.....I've read several articles on this subject, tried it once....do ya know how painful it is to try and get CA glue out of your whiskers..?? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
