America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

There are books written on wood finishing. Basically, it is :
Sand to a very smooth finish.
Fill wood pores ,if necessary,with sanding sealer.
Polish hard and oily woods as they are.Polish other (or all) woods with a hard wax like carnuba,Brixwax, or Turtle Shell wax.
Buff briskly.Either by hand with a soft cloth,or with a buffer and a clean unstitched muslin or cotton buff.
