Here is a recently completed vase, approx. 3.25 x 6.5. Finished with DO then poly, and buffed.
Comments welcome.

Bernie, I allowed the DO to dry for at least the prescribed 72 hours, possibly longer...I don't recall exactly. It took a few coats of poly before I got the evenness of finish you see in the pics. If you've not used poly (or any other reactive finish) over DO or BLO before, the only important concern is that you allow the oil to dry for the prescribed time first. DO says 72 hours on the can; BLO generally takes longer it seems to me.How long did you wait to apply the poly? Was it spray or wipe on? This will be my first time using something over oil. Was just curious.
Nathan, it does indeed have a chatoyance to it that you would expect of mahogany. It was virtually impossible to capture that with a still shot.Nice looking HF. I bet that wood really has some depth of grain when you turn it in the light!!! Beautiful piece.
