I took y'all's advice and slowed down the tripoli buff to about 1000rpm and I like the results much better. The tripoli buff works best when it has some heat to make the finish easier to polish, but I certainly had too much heat. I finished my intended piece today buffing at the slower speed and I really liked how much better it worked. Takes longer to get a good polish, but much faster than having to strip and re-finish. Thanks again guys!
Mike - a lot of things will vary the final sheen: type of finish, type of wood, level of sanding, amount you buff before applying wax and there is also the possibility that the lighting in the above photos affect the perceived sheen.
