Restoring a Cedar Burl Bowl Gone Wrong. Can I Salvage This Bowl?

I turned this stunning piece of cedar burl into a lovely bowl. I used an oil finish but after just a few short weeks, the wood looks dry, drab and boring! What to do? This wood is too magical for drab!
I decided to remount the bowl and apply Skyler Ewing's Carnauba Wood Polish and Finish. I've been using this product along with their abrasive paste exclusively the last few months with tremendous success. My hopes were high!
Did I salvage the beauty of this bowl? I sure did! My jaw dropped! Tell me what you think in the comments.
Here's a link to the Carnauba Wood Polish and Finish. Make sure to get some abrasive paste specifically designed for wood. There's also an abrasive paste designed for resin, which I use exclusively

First of all, you turned an incredible bowl! The wood and grain is fantastic and the finish did a very nice job. Good work Derek. Also the video had a very nice flow, great image quality and good sound
