Delta 46-460 till I can justify my dream lathe, I use a variety of finishing techniques for varies turnings such as triple eee , shalak wax, and micro mesh for small turnings, sometimes ca finish. The larger turnings it varies with mixed results and am still looking for my favorite combination but I do use beall buffing a lot . I do do a lot of the larger turnings green rough turn to around 10 percent of estimated finish and let them sit for around a year if at all possibly and sometimes longer. Some I seal the end grain with anchor seal before I let them sit and some I don't and use ca to stop cracks as the start. For my best results I rough turn, let them sit in the shop a couple months and then if I can time it right bring them inside when I start using the wood stove for around here is about 5 or 6 months then in the summer or fall finish turning. It is best to keep a large stock of rough turned bowls and let them sit as long as possible and don't rush the drying process. Tried it and it gives me less than satisfactory results
