Day 5: Finish and refinish.

Both the Aspen and spalted maple hollow forms got some additional finishing done today.















The Aspen has a
nice patch of some very nice curl on one side an just a hint on the other side.














The spalted maple was turned again to reduce the wall thickness and the overall weight before being sanded top to bottom. It's significantly lighter now than it was last night. It also received 2 coats of oil today and had the larger bug holes cleaned of the frass (the politically correct term for bug poop).













This side has a fair amount of curl in addition to the spalting and the bug holes.
















Each will receive a couple additional coats of oil before being buffed to a low sheen in a couple of weeks.
