I recently turned several hollow form pieces out of a log of spalted ambrosia maple. I experimented with different finishes - Waterlox, water-based lacquer - but for the last piece I decided to try Danish Oil (WATCO). As I turned these in end-grain orientation, the piece sucked up immense quantities of oil (the common comparison of wood grain structure to a bunch of straws is apt!) and I was left with a very dull looking piece (see picture, which actual looks a bit better than real life). So I'm thinking of putting some kind of top coat on that would give it a bit of glow - not shiny, but enough reflectivity to give it a little more life. Not sure what will work over the oil, however - beeswax, wipe-only poly, something else? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks
