And when this woodworker is finishing, that means branding, sanding, cleaning & oiling.
Not the right way to brand a board.
For flat surfaces, I use a random orbital sander … 60, 120, 180 and 240 grit. Each piece has to be brushed clean prior to finishing.
I used 5 different sanding machines for these projects. Hand sanding is a bonus!
It’s a rare day … a finishing day! … when my work bench and the table saw top are completely bare.
Projects awaiting the last step.
Laid out on scrap lumber so the oil on the bottom of the project can soak in, rather than being wrapped in plastic.
I wear my lucky finishing shirt … it’s got paint and stain from a number of projects. The bowls were each coated in walnut oil.
Finished pix coming soon to a blog near you!

This work is fabulous! Wish you lived closer so I could buy one. Thanks for sharing what you do with us!
Thanks for the kind words, Rusha. I’ve never sold any of my projects; I keep saying no one could afford me.
