Another bowl attempt

Another bowl attempt and I'm happier with the mechanical outcome. The pattern leaves something to be desired in my mind, but it was my first go at laminating together scraps to make a blank. To that end, it didn't turn out so bad. Scrap walnut, maple and cherry.Finish sanded up to 600 with Abramet pads, then buffed with Dr. Kirk's Scratch Free. Sealed with some 2# shellac. Smooth as a baby's bum, I decided to add some more shellac. It immediately became gummy. Pretty sure the first coat wasn't completely set. I sanded back down a bit, then back up, then buffed again, and more shellac. Not as nice as before, but still a very smooth finish. Then some renaissance wax and called it a day. I'm really impressed with the Scratch Freegives a really nice finish.
