I recently made this bowl for my sister. It's maple with Chestnut brand aniline dye on the inside. I didn't want to darken the color of the bare maple, so I buffed with the Beall system and only used Renaissance wax as a finish.
My sister will probably use it for jewelry, pocket change, things like that, so the wax will wear off very fast and then the thin layer of dye will get scratched up. I'd like to add something more protective to the inside, but I'm not too keen on spray lacquer for this one. What would you use?
