    Well done! Some of the best videos out there. Keep up the good work.
    Also, great to have the list of tools and products used during the project, most helpful!

    In another video you used Yorkshire Grit and Scratch Free to finish a maple bowl, and I think you said your final finish is often waterlox since it provides a food safe finish. I think you also recommended avoiding Scratch Free on darker woods since it may get stuck in the grain patterns. After watching this video, I’m a little confused on what the best finish is for the figured darker woods that might have food contact.
    Thanks, Jack
