Scrap Wood Bowl: Pine and Mahogany

This Mahogany and Pine bowl measures 5.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. Top rim and base layer are both Mahogany. The bowl was wet sanded with mineral oil, given a coat of boiled linseed oil, then burnished with wood shavings. The final coat was a high speed wax. High Speed Wax is an alcohol, shellac and carnuba wax mixture applied with a rag while the bowl is spinning at high r.p.m. which heats the wax and shines and hardens it.
