You're using maple here. For another project you said you were using sycamore. Is there a difference? I thought that what we Brits call sycamore is your maple.

@scarlattibeet Hi, Yes Maple and Sycamore are very different. They are both hard woods but have very different grain patterns.

What grits of sandpaper do you use?

Thanks

Hi Matthew,

I start with 180 and go up to 600

Mr. Jacobson,

After you use your sanding mixture of wax paste and linseed oil, what can a person use to make it glossy?

This is one of my favorite projects you do.

Thanks

Matt

You can use salad bowl oil it is a little glossier than the wax.

Take care,

Carl

I slow down when sanding, because I feel it does a better job.

Yes, I am using a 3/8 inch bowl gouge.

Thanks,

Carl
