Woodturning - Bloodwood & Ambrosia Maple Cube

This started out as a simple woodturning project: I was just going to make a bowl out of this Bloodwood blank. I haven’t turned anything with Bloodwood, so I was going to keep it basic to get a feel for the wood, but then I thought, “Nah.” I glued a couple of pieces of Ambrosia Maple to the side, making a cube and then used traditional woodturning techniques to round it up into a hollowform vase.
Turns out Bloodwood is a really nice wood…tight grain, nice classic figuring, sands up real nice. I like the contrast it made with the Ambrosian Maple.
Many of my pieces are for sale at my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/caswoodcraft

It's like watching magic, no matter how close I watch I can't figure out how it works. From a block of wood joined by glue, to an amazingly smooth bowl.

It's called "woodturning."

What did you use as a finish?
