is tru oil glossy to start off. I used BLO on a neck repair a while back. and it was a satin finish of course.

WOW!

@Wesley77Small If you can lift the speakers I prefer using a stationary buffing wheel. If not you will need to use a buffing bonnet on a hand held power buffer. For lacquer, a high quality instrument grade lacquer is a must. There are few brands available: Seagraves (Mcfaddens) and a newer brand I am experimenting with is Cardinal.

What electric buffer should I use for buffing my large heave speakers that I make. And what lacquer do you use on gtrs?
Thank you very much! Wesley

What finish did you use ?
Also, you didn't use the brown compound. Too coarse ?
Thank you

@joeygonzo This was a lacquer finish and I sanded it to a higher grit than normal so no course compound was used.
