I am getting better finishing cuts by sharpening more frequently and sanding to higher grits. 180# - 600# followed by tripoli and white diamond. Last buffing wheel loaded with carnauba and then hand buffed with Howard's Feed and Wax. I used the Howard's Feed and Wax for the orange oil to allow the wild grain to really pop. I am pretty happy with the results.
