| Round 2 Continued   I used the same clamp method as I did the first time.

      | Here I'm machining it very close to the 
		bottom and then I'll sand it flush.

      | Now that's a little better wouldn't you say?

      | Back to Making Some Bowls Continued   After everything was sanded, I applied mineral oil on 
		them. However, I used a very fine Scotch Brite pad (white) to apply the 
		mineral oil with. This helps remove all the smaller wood fibers while it 
		works the oil into the wood. 
 | 
    
      | 
		     | 
    
      | A few hours later I wiped off the excess oil and applied 
		some of this Wood Wax. Now this is the first time I've used this but it 
		seemed to work just fine. Note: if you ever use this wax, keep it in the 
		house because it works much better if it's warm. I applied it with a 
		micro fiber cloth and wiped it off with on as well.

      | It's Finished   I like the wax surface in place of just mineral oil. In fact, I used 
		the wax on a
		this
		
		cutting board I made awhile back.

      | This one has some soft edges on top.

      | I like the layered look here.
