    Opinions on finishing piece

    I still have not finished this piece first turned about a year ago. It has several coats of tungue oil finish, but after the last coat, when I sanded it again for another finish I created a lot of scratches that I have spent hours trying to remove, but the finish just clogs sandpaper and I put it on the shelf for now.

    So now I have a piece that I suppose I either have to settle for visible scratches or conpletely remove the finish.
    Another way has come to mind that i'd like opinions on.
    I found orbital disks up to 2000 grit.
    Do you think using it in my orbital sander i could create a reasonably nice finish after stripping it?
    I love hand sanding, but this piece is hard to sand well enough by hand to satisfy me.
    Any thoughts?
