Zinser SealCoat is an excellent finish, as good as flake shellac that is available these days. I've used it on several guitars using a french polish technique with a pad & oil.

Very nice bowl. I do it in one step using a faceplate. I put glue on the side of the piece I am turning, glue on a scrap piece of wood and clamp them together with a piece of paper between the two blocks of wood, The next day I use wood screws to screw the end of the scrap piece to a faceplate. I do the whole process in one step. When it's finished, I just put a thin blade at the paper joint, tap it and the bowl pops right off. The glue joint it quite strong, but the wedging action of the blade at the glue joint pops the paper apart without taking wood grain with it. All that's left is a light sanding and finish on the flat bottom.
