Thanks Stuart for that. I will probably go with the satin finish. The vase I did last year for our contest was finished with a satin finish and the judges all commented positively on the finish. I think you will like the petal type bowl. It was fun just designing it in Segment Pro. I also went outside my comfort zone with the wood choices this time as well. I usually default to maple, cherry and walnut. I'm glad I tried the new ones as well. The Tulip Wood was very expensive here but on the flip side it is very nice to work with.Glenn, I prefer a satin finish but you can finish with gloss and if you don't like it buff it back with 0000 steel wool. I have some flat work to do but I think I'm going to try and fit in a petal bowl like you are making. I really appreciate the step by step.
