Finishing the finish

Once the finish is laid on as smooth as I can, I let it rest and harden. Then I lightly but thoroughly sand it and steel wool, this knocks the sheen down. After I apply a secret process, I polish it back up with cloth and elbow grease. Thus gives me the look of luster, not shine, to the finish. The top surface has some carved dips and valleys, swirls and texture, these details come out when I get my luster, its just so nice to run your hands on, to feel the craftsman's moves, the makers mark.
