I just wanted to ask about what kind of finish you apply on textured wood with chattering tools, texturing wheels, etc. What finish do you apply to reach a shiny result?
For my little experience, it seems really hard (probably not even possible) to give a shiny finish and that obviously will constrain you to give the same finish to the rest of the piece.
Waxes are not suitable because they will pack in the texture's recesses and once dry, they will give to the textured area a whitish finish. I think it is the same for any kind of friction polish.
The only finishes that come in my mind are varnish and lacquer and then using buffing wheels to try to reach the recesses of the texture.
