Jarrah bowl origin
Hi there I'm trying to find anything I can about this piece that has crossed my path, it was purchased in Perth WA and has this signature on the back and I wondered if anyone might recognise it. Thanks in advance.

Given the chunky style, foot mount left on and some minor sanding marks left, it was probably purchased at some local turning club event and made by one of their members. IMHO it doesn't look like it was made by a known pro.

Any information
Thanks for your input so far. Seeing as this bowl is probably 20 years old I don't hold out much hope for finding the original maker. However would anyone be able to tell me about the black circles, what are they and how are they made please?
Also if anyone in Perth would has the time/inclination to restore it for me then please let me know. The more I look at it the more I think this is best left to someone with experience.

Update
Hi there, after all the excellent advice I received I decided to give it a go myself.
I gave it a light sand with a 320 sanding block. Then I applied 2 coats of 'Feast Watson fine buffing oil' with some 000 steel wool.
We are happy with the results. Thanks for giving me the confidence to have a go. In all likelihood I would have just varnished it.

Unfortunately you are now probably going to have steel wool fibres in all the cracks that will eventually go rusty. Make sure you blow out all the cracks with air pressure to minimise it. Next time use one of those green cleaning pads in lieu of steel wool

I just followed the instructions on the can to use the steel wool. A few fibres did come off but when I did the final wipe down they've come out then. I might get the vaccuum out and do the cracks just to be sure though!
