A couple of simple bowls. I was trying a new finish on the second one. The first one is just regular danish oil. The second was found on WC in Russ' Corner. The recipe follows:
2 parts Mineral Spirits
1 part Boiled Linseed Oil
1/4 part Varnish
I've got a little over 2 1/2 gallons of the stuff and dunk the bowl after final sanding into the mix. I let it soak then it drip dries over the bucket. After drying I buff the bowl using tripoli, white diamond, and carnauba.
I'm pleased with the first result which is the darker of the two pieces below.
