Just that you seem to see more lacquer finishes on work from that part of Aus.

Likewise, I'm not suggesting that one type of finish is better than another.

Whatever rows your boat I say.

Or to be more constructive.
Find a finish that works for you and learn how to use it to show off your work to it's best advantage.

Not out of a can but a gun.

Feeling no pain after a good session.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
Must be a bit cold in the south, you lot are getting too passive. Been cold up here lately, had to resort to wearing a singlet during the day.

I some times use friction polish, especially on the harder timbers. I prefer grain fillers and lacquer on the more open pored stuff more common up here. But that is a personal preference. It dries and hardens quickly and can be finished with french polish techniques or abrasives. And yes the spray gun is by far the better job.

Jock, I call that the non slip finish.

Also great for folks who don't dust too often
