Some recently finished bowls of mine!

Post image

Just wanted to share some bowls I recently finished up. The wood species are cherry, maple, and box elder.

I’m new at taking more “professional” photos of my work. Even though I bought a nice camera a couple of years ago to do so. But I only recently got a tripod and some lights to make it a bit more professional. A lot of time is spent on our craft, and although other art/craft mediums come relatively naturally, there is a huge learning curve to them still. So if you are reading this and have experience, feel free to share any “product” photography tips for I and others to learn!

Anyway, thanks for viewing/reading, cheers!

What finish did you use on these?

This is Minwax Tung oil

Ive been using the Walrus oil brand, specifically their cutting board oil blend. Once that dries, I use their wood wax or beeswax to add some waterproofing.
