You're so right. Most of yhe stuff I'd like to buy is US made so being able to source in France is brilliant. Thanks again and you have a good day!

Thanks, that's a great help. I live in France so Stewmac stuff is too expensive for me with the shipping costs but I'm sure I'll be able to get an equivalent over here. Thanks again for your time.

Thanks for your time and response Ragamuffin - I've decided not to go down the spray route and have opted for a wipe-on polyurethane finish - but that still needs polish ingredients and buffing and I have a 7" rotary car buffer ready. What polishing medium did you use please?

well impressed with that! I'll be happy if I can get that finish. I'll let you know how I get on but don't hold your breath - I work kinda slow; but I will get there.
