I'm a young woodwooder, and not too knowledgable on finishing. I just turned a curly maple bowl, and want a finish that'll "pop" the figure.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

You picked a doozy of a project for an inexperienced worker. Hope you didn't get hurt.
Almost any good hardware store will carry a product called Salad Bowl Varnish, it's food safe. Barring, that, double-boiled linseed oil.

I think clear varnish will let the true colors shine. It will darken it just enough to show off the grain.
If there will be food in the bowl, then use beeswax and mineral oil.
