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.

Had a quick google, that brand of spray can is only available in the northern hemisphere.

Cracker Derek, thats is stunning, love the thickness. I've never tried end grain, you've set a high bar.
