Razor finish

I used CA on the one I did for Dad. Make sure you do the ends though. Seems to have lasted OK.
I suppose you could try Les's dipping method with a polyurethane gloss also.
Just need to find some equivalent to the Minwax he uses

Use acrylics. I made some about 5 years ago and the finishes have flaked off. The one finish that I havent tried is International Yacht Varnish, about six coats starting 20/80 varnish and thinners working to 80/20 and then a full varnish, two days in between coats, a week to harden off and then burnish back to a supreme gloss.
Nah - use acrylics.

Not done any, but I would say acrylic or corian 
Spray lacquer as the others have said - Chestnut or halfrauds, all the same.
Spray, dry, sand, spray, dry, sand. Don't put thick coats of lacquer on otherwise it will run & take longer to dry.

I finished a couple of wood one with CA and so far so good but the fusion I have planned for myself will be tru-stone.
