I just love the grain in silky oak!
Here is a bowl I made in a rush. Finished the bowl, took some quick snaps, then straight out the door to give it to a friend as a birthday present.

I believe it was around 20cm diameter but forgot to measure properly.

Sanded to 600, then EEE and Shellawax Glow to finish.

Hope you like it. Simon.

Nice work Simon


finish looks very good

How did you sand, inertia, power or hand?

Hi DaveTTC, I used one of these attachments in a power drill. 50mm diameter, and I have sanding pads up to 600.
After using a scraper on the bowl, I use grits 240, 320, 400, 600.

I think you can get 800 and 1200 grit velcro backed sanding discs too, but I only have up to 600.
