Sanding and Finishing the Bowls


Sanding five bowls took about two weeks to complete, when working on it for about 10 days of that time. I realise now that it probably wasn’t very smart to sand the insides of the bowl as well but on the other hand, it was needed for the bigger holes, as the bowl did feel very sharp. To cut down sanding time, I sanded the five bowls together when sanding the flat edges. I had to stop this and sand individually when it came to rounding edges and the top and bottom surface areas. Unlike last time, I was able to polish the bowls, which improved the look of it greatly. I found I preferred the shiny look for my bowl as it complements its organic shape.
