Thank you all for the great comments.

That's lovely Derek mate. What's the finish, it's very shiny.

As promised the name of the finish and a photo of the can.

What i want to know is how do you sand it, apart from very carefully. A beautiful piece indeed.

As you say very carefully and certainly not with the lathe turning except the very centre I mounted a small disc pad in my cordless drill and sanded through the grits down to 400grit it did take a little time but worth doing it. Luckily I managed a good finish straight off of the tool so started with 180grit.
