5/5 After all the sanding and polishing, it's finally time to put a finish on the bowl. Rather than use a film-forming finish like shellac or varnish, I use Danish oil. This penetrates and cures.
Tomorrow I might tweak the finish. Once it is final I'll remove the tenon on the bottom that is holding the bowl to the chuck, then go through most of the same finishing steps where the tenon was.
