Here is my latest bowl...Padauk and Red Oak. Evelyn gave me some bowl blanks for Christmas and a 2"x 6" piece of Padauk was one of them, I added a piece of 3/4" Red Oak to what would be the top. I sanded from 80 grit to 12000mm. The outside has 6 coats of Pen's Plus I still need to apply 4 more coats to the inside. I happy I didn't blow through the bottom of this bowl and pleased with how it came out. All C & C welcome.
