Small Walnut Wood Bowl

 Here's a small Walnut bowl measuring almost 3 inches diameter and 2.5 inches high. I made a textured bead around the rim. Finished with Pita's True Grit. 

Small Sycamore Bowl

 This is a Sycamore wood bowl measuring 3.25 inches diameter by 2 inches tall. Finished with Pita's True Grit polishing compound (mineral oil, beeswax and diatomaceous earth). This is my new go-to finishing compound. I love this stuff. 

 

Small Spalted Pear Bowl

 Another small spalted Pear bowl. This one measures 2.75 in diameter and 1.25 inches tall. Wet sanded and finished with mineral oil. 

Large Pear Bowl

 Here's a simple, plain Pear bowl measuring 8 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. It's large only in the context of my bowl-making. It would be medium sized in the real world. Wet sanded and finished with mineral oil. 

Small Spalted Pear Bowl

 Here's a spalted Pear bowl measuring 3 inches in diameter by 1.5 inches high. I made a textured bead around the rim.  Finished with mineral oil.

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.
