Let it cure for about a week and then put it back on the lathe with my vacuum chuck and buffed it up to 12,000 grit with MicroMesh. Waxed it with Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax (per Gord Rock). Best high gloss finish I've put on a bowl to date. I prefer a more satin finish but the ladies seem to like the high gloss. I couldn't believe how well the Mothers wax worked!

Too bad my pictures are always so crappy, the finish as a "deep" look to it. I'm working on solving the photography issue now.

Thanks for the compliment!

I thank you for the detailed response. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
