Natural Edge Cherry Bowl

This is a natural edge cherry bowl that I just finished. It measures 9.5 inch by 5.5 inch and is finished with wipe on poly. Comments are welcome.

I don't have much to advise on WOP. I just fold up a fresh paper towel and pour on a generous amount and wipe on with long and continuous strokes, stopping before the WOP begins to set up. I have only used it several times so I am also still learning.
