Has anyone used a polissoir ( corn-straw burnisher, Jeff) on a Tried & 
True Original finish? I made a couple of wall-mount shelf supports, to 
replace the ones UPS broke, so my daughter & GIT can finally install a 
teak-look shelving system that belonged to my recently-departed Aunt. 
It's not critical, but I'm wanting to emulate a mid-century 
barely-finished look on padauk. I'm tempted to burnish before applying 
the T&T as the grain's quite irregular, but I don't want to interfere 
with absorption. All suggestions welcome.
