Nice work! What will you use to coat the wood?

The wood has been stabilized which is why it polishes up so shiny when working it. Normally hackberry is pretty soft and not as tight. That said, I may still put a varnish or poly on the inside for extra protection. In other uses I have wood bowls that are raw and completely unfinished that I use wet for short periods of time (less than 30 - 60 minutes) and then dump and dry. They do a surprising job of holding water for that duration and not splitting or warping in any major way.
