I like the design and you did well in turning then. Have you tried burnishing the wood with paper from a brown paper bag, or going back and applying a coat of paste wax applied with 0000 steel wool? Won’t be glassy, but the satin finish will be so smooth. :)

PMB, I’ve never heard of the burnishing with a brown paper bag. I will try the paste wax and steel wool. Thanks, its nice to have a couple more ideas in my mental tool box.

You’re welcome. And thank you for inspiring me to turn some candle sticks on the lathe. I really like how they turned out.

Here is an article on burnishing a wood surface with a brown paper bag:
