Nice one Keith. Cant wait to seel your turnings in person.

Bob- I, too, was curious about the finish. After doing a little search, I found this from Keith. Hope it helps you in the future.

A couple have asked about my 10 minute finish so here it is.

1. Sand thru 400 to 600 grit. I power sand at high speed.
2. Rub in Minwax Antique Oil (Red Can). It may feel a little tacky but thats okay. Let set for a couple of minutes. Do not follow instructions on can.
3. Buff with tripoli followed by wax. I use the Beall System.

I am not a finishing expert and have no idea why this works or if it will work with other oils. Your results may vary. Works best on dense woods. Other woods may require a second or third application of the oil applied in the same rub in manner.

Thanks for all the kind words y'all ! Glenn, thanks for finding my previous post on the finish, I hope it helps. I am looking forward to meeting anyone here that is going to the symposium. So many here are going that I want to meet.
