Hello from Canada. I have turned a chess set and finished it with Shellawax (it's maple and walnut). The finish is bright and superb, however as the knight is partly turned and partly hand carved I can't turn it and use Shellawax. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can match the brilliance of the turned end. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Brit, I tried the buffing wheel but couldn't get enough het into it to activate the Shellawax. It's better, it's just not great.

Thanks DJ, Aussie Oil sounds like the perfect solution but unfortunately I can't get it in Canada :-(
