Exquisite , very nice Ron!!
Do you have to sand and resand wth the Waterlox? a short final of some contrasting would be good also (?) .

Thanks Folks

Mike,
I have to say, it's a nice place here.

Paul,
On something like this I sand to 600, than apply and wipe off two coats of finish, letting each coat dry. Then I sand just enough with 800 to knock off any nibs. I then apply a third coat without wiping it off. I let it dry and then sand with 1000 to knock off any more nibs. From there I buff with some wheels and compound I picked up at a big box store.

I gotta say Ron...you sure have a good eye for form. Very graceful. And that wood is killer. Another excellent piece. :)
