Small maple box.

 

This Maple box is 3 inches high and 2.75 inches in diameter. Though the lid and the cup look like different kinds of wood, they are both spalted Maple. The lid is loose-fitting. The finish was done using my new "true grit" polishing compound. Nice little box.

Maple Bowl

 

Here's a 6.5 inch diameter Maple bowl about 1.5 inches high. Hey, no spalting on this one! I tried out a new finishing compound on this bowl. It's called Pita's "True Grit" polish. It polishes wood turning up to a nice semi gloss sheen with no dust at all. I think I've found my new finish.
