Cedar bowl update

Here's the cedar bowl I mentioned after it got 3 coats of oil and 3 coats of wipe-on polyurethane. I'm not really impressed with the polyurethane, because it seems VERY difficult to get a nice finish with no bits, even in a clean environment. You cant really see it in these pictures but the finish doesn't feel glassy like I want.

It's much easier to get a great glassy finish with buffed wax (like this), I think. Following that logic, I ordered a lathe-mounted 3-wheel buffing system from Don Pencil the other day, and I'm eagerly waiting to try it out. That way I can oil, wax, and buff my turnings off of the lathe, which lets me do any hand finishing first, before I start waxing. I'll gloat some more when it shows up!
