African Yellowwood (AKA Fern Pine) bowl.
Since this wood, turned green, shows no cracking and very minor warping, but molds almost immediately, I am experimenting with finishes.
I sanded this one wet all the way to 1200, and then polished for 10 minutes with a t-shirt. Then I added paste wax and polished it in until there was a nice, even gloss. I wanted to get those pores closed and sealed to stop the mold.
I'll see what happens now. Hopefully it will not twist itself in a final, self-destructive rage.
