    Beautiful coloring, Joe! I've seen mentions of your coloring technique previously, but I don't believe I've ever seen your finishing technique described... Care to share the way you get that glossy, blemish-free finish?

    Thanks once again, David. The finish is multiple layers of wipe-on poly applied with pieces of old cotton t-shirts. I rub out the finish with 0000 steel wool between coats. All my finishing takes place off the lathe and rubbed by hand.
