Greetings Gents, I've been out of the hobby for a few years due to a divorce and the loss of most of my tools. Working on a jewelry box for Christmas. It is Bubinga and Maple. For a finish I was thinking of sanding to 240 and using a semi gloss or gloss polyurethane from Woodcraft that is water based. General Finishes HP they call it.
In looking at some of the examples of finished projects here I see some maple that is almost gold in color and has a really nice shine to it. Can someone share how you are getting that color and shine? I see discussions of using steel wool and wax. I appologize I don't have a lot of experience with fine finishes.
Thank you, Mike
