Pepper mill made from Texas Mesquite. Finished with Mylands Friction Polish and Ren Wax. Present for my brother in south Texas.

Bowl from from Spalated Hard Maple. Wood was very punky and I consider myself lucky just to get it smooth. Finished with WTF.

Another bowl from Spalted Hackberry. Very nice to turn. Finished with WTF.

I'm not really happy with the finish on either bowl. I've tried putting on a heavy coat of WTF and then leveling it with 1200 sandpaper and then more light coats.. Then I tried a light coat and knocked that back with 0000 wool. Then several more light coats but neither way yields an acceptable finish. Do I need to level the coat before the next on all coats.That WTF is some fickle stuff. C and C are welcomed.
