 === 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.

 === Waxing ===
-I applied a generous layer of pure carnauba furniture wax and left it for ten minutes, then buffed it off. The result wasn't quite as glossy as I wanted so I applied another coat and buffed it off almost immediately. The result was excellent. I screwed in the posts I'd made earlier and left it overnight.

+Some guide suggested using steel wool to apply the wax coat. The 0000-grade steel wool I had would readily shed lots of fine steel dust which I feared would end up in the wax and rust over time. I stuck with the sponges.
