Not posted much in the turning section for a while as I am building a toy train and also 5 money boxes. I had a piece of beech that I rough turned not so long ago from very wet wood with this piece i stuck it in the airing cupboard and it has misshaped a little and also the weight has stabilised. I turned the final shape and then finished it with a three wheel buffing kit from a company here in England called Chestnut products.

Anyway it was sanded to 600grit then coated with sander sealer before doing the buffing, This is the first time I had used the buffing wheel system for polishing and am very pleased with the end result

Sorry for late reply. Thank you very much this was just a bit of light turning between other bits like waiting for glue to dry and making 5 money boxes. And also to have a play with the new buffing system:;

I only just spotted this one Derek. I like the look. The contrasting rim sets it off. :2tsup:

The three wheel buffing system sounds interesting. I noticed that you said you coated it with sanding sealer, then buffed. No other finish?
I assume that you used a shellac-based sanding sealer?

Cellulose sander sealer and the chestnuts buffing system (http://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/finishes/finishes-1/chestnut-finishing-products/chestnut-buffing-wheel-kit) I am pleased with the first efforts with this and will be using it some more.
