Hi all:

I took your advice and purchased Mike Darlow's book on Turning Chessmen.
I am trying to turn the firs set in Purpleheart. I am now trying to
figure out the best way to put a finish on them. What is the best way? I
have Tung Oil and Paste wax. I have Shellway Cream which I would love to
try but it warns that if the wood has too much oil it can dullen the
finish. One web site seems to suggest using Armorall under Lacquer. Any
suggestions from this august group.

I don't use anything on Purple heart, except wax. Kept away for
sunlight helps it retain it's color
