Finished up some bowls and my first tool handle this week. White cedar and Black Walnut - boy, do they turn differently !! The bowls are mineral oil finish, except the one BW shallow dish, which is Poly Wipe. Friction polish on the tool handle (it will wear off quickly in use, but highlights the grain).

Nice batch of bowls there Rick! The walnut grain looks really cool. I like how you framed the photograph. Great job!
