You may have seen these items before in a group photo, but that was when I was first trying to upload. I've gotten my camera together and figured it out. Plus, I had made a reply to a posted question about finishing with sanding sealer and lacquer. I promised then that I would return with these as finishing examples/trials.
I went outside to try to use the sun for intensity and reflection, and a natural out of focus background. Some shots sort of ok, some not so much. Please feel free to critique or comment.

This 8" x 1.24" Canary Wood Platter is finished with Sanding Sealer then EEE, then Friction Polish. It's a little more of a Satin look than gloss.

This 8" x 2" Black Cherry Platter has the same treatment.

The 6" x 2" Padauk bowl was sanded to 400, then several coats of Wipe On Polyurithane. Wet sanding w/600 between coats. The last coat not sanded hardly at all.

This 6" x 3" unknown wood was also finished with wipe on Polyurithane. Again not sanded much at all. I wish I know what this was so I could get more of it!

I had trouble with this exposure to get to bright enough in the sun. This 6" x 1.75" Yellowhart bowl was sanded to about 400, then I went right to spray lacqer. I've heard that it's not the way to do it. But it was kind of a trial to see if it would work.
The thing that didn't work was lacquer over sanding sealer, or friction polish. Bad Idea!
Thanks,
Mike
