Rwest, this is a German clock box I restored. I replaced missing inlays and added the back veneers, fenials (and crow). I finished with a rattle can of lacquer. The flat white spray tips on rattle cans these days work really well. I've rattle canned a perfect finish on furniture out of a can. A spray finish is easier to apply on intricate pieces. Lacquer is very stinky for a couple of days though. The jewelry box is a 100 year old prison art piece I stripped and refinished the same way. French polish is a great, tunable finish. It's Shellac thinned down with alcohol. You can make your own with Shellac flakes
