I made this natural edge bowl from a piece of hackberry. The timber came from a storm damaged hackberry tree. The finished bowl is 8 1/4 inches ( 206 mm) in diameter and 4 inches tall (100 mm).
After a final coat of lacquer based sanding sealer and a through sanding with 120, 220, and 320 grit sandpaper I finished with 8 to 10 coats of rub-on polyurethane. I gave the bowl two coats of paste wax and buffed on the lathe. .
