    Question Chess Set Finishing

    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.
