 === Final sanding ===
-I had been doing my between-varnish sanding passes with 120 and then 240 grit sandpaper. I bought a new orbital sander with functional dust extraction that I could hook up to my shopvac. My old orbital sander had been repaired and the dust extraction holes were full of liquid nails. With this I could get a good matte finish, but I wanted something nice and glossy.

 I have a roll of 600 grit sandpaper, but I found that it would quickly clog when trying to polish up the 240 grit surface. After trying polishing with scotch-brite and 0000 steel wool without much success, I realised the 600 grit paper was wet and dry. I used water to unclog the paper and it worked brilliantly. I was able to get a very even, smooth result across the whole surface by smoothing out the streaks on the final unthinned varnish coat with the 240 dry, then moving to the 600 wet. It took about an hour but I was very happy with the end result.
