Hey Arch,

I doubt that any of your friends would turn away and not want one of
your tools. I sure wouldn't but if you wanted to simply polish them
then you should be able to rig up a sewn cloth buffing wheel with
some rouge or other buffing compounds and see if the shafts won't
polish up.

Nor would I resist one being pressed in my cold, inactive woodturning hand!
Bertie! I don't think you understand the nature of this group. What you
propose is far too simple a plan for finishing these archetype hollowing
tools! I suggest you do a google with the search term "Rube Goldberg" and
do some studying on what is expected as answers for such requests! *G*
