Tried some yellow pine this time around with cedar base and top accent and an oak and mahogany feature ring. The yellow pine seemed much harder and was more prone to tearout on the inside where I had to use my big scraper to smooth the contours. I spent more time sanding than turning! Right now it has a couple of coats of danish oil but I plan on a coat of poly after the danish has cured its 72 hours.

NICE. Each time I see something like this I think I should get back to turning some bowls. Do you use a wedgie sled? That is something on my list of things to either make or buy.

Yep, I do. I ordered the wedges then built the sled from stuff I had stashed in the shop. Mostly it was from an mdf Bosch router cabinet I had from years back and no longer needed.
