Just finished this up a bit ago. It is a natural finish....just buffed, no wax. This was my first blast. I learned a few things, but it was crazy fun!!! I did lose the shape on the bottom right of the bowl (from the front). I got a little carried away blasting that area. All-in-all I think it came out pretty good. I will take better pictures tonight, but was outside a little while ago and wanted to take some then. The blast does have a lot more detail than these pictures show. It isn't crazy deep, but it is way deeper than the little apple I did for my mom a while back.
I still have to polish the inside of the slot and am going to hit it with white diamond before I stamp it. Like I said...I was excited to take some pictures of it

I sure didn't. It has been very humid here the past few weeks so I think I lucked out.
