This is my first try so be patient, if it doesn't work let me know.

Good lookin' grain, and nice lathe! What are you finishing with, if
any? Oh, and it's the _love_ of money that's the root of all evil...I
want a refund, please! Tom

This type of wood I use Lee Valley tung oil sealer to bring out the
grain. Next day I use Crystal Coat(shellac and wax). After I get the
bottom finished I will buff the entire bowl with Hut light. My
dedicated buffer is an old HF lathe that I started with.

I like just the tung oil sealer and a coat of pure tung oil, but all
my customers expect a shiny surface.
