Excellent work Dave, I agree with others, we are our own worst critics. Did you use any other finish besides wax ?

Dave thats a beautiful bowl! If you luck is like mine you better leave it alone  . Man I can't wait until I get my lathe  .I know it will be some time before I can turn like that. But at least I can start learning. | |

Dave, do you put the finish on while it's spinning in the lathe? Or put it on then use the lathe to spin buff it out?

If it needs a lot of leveling and smoothing like a CA finish it will be done completely on the lathe. Most of my bowl finishes are either oil/varnish blends, shellac or lacquer. They are applied off the lathe and hand buffed/rubbed. I do like to apply a BLO/wax finish on the lathe. Apply the BLO while slowly spinning the piece. let it soak in a little while. Then crank the lathe up as fast as the piece will allow and burnish the BLO into the wood with a soft cloth. The high heat helps it to oxidize faster. Then wait as long as a smoke/beer/potty break and apply the paste wax the same way. That will give you a nice satin gloss and a very smooth feel to the touch.
