Hand finishing with Watco

I made my first start at hand finishing, with Watco Danish Oil and a small beech bowl. After drying, I'll wipe on a few coats of satin-finish Watco wipe-on polyurethane to protect the wood and add a bit of shine. I want to use this method on the large ambrosia maple bowl, but I want to try it on a test piece first. This piece isn't perfect, but it actually looks pretty decent when the oil makes the grain features pop. The photo here show a few coats of oil only. I'll follow-up with photos after the poly is applied.
