My first attempts at making larger (10.5” and up) bowl from a maple tree that came down on my property in a storm earlier in the year. I went to a gallery with some of my smaller pieces and the owner told me to get away from poly and go with natural finishes, but I got to tell ya – the finish I’ve used here – walnut oil and beeswax – really doesn’t bring out the color variations as much as the poly did. Any suggestions?
