Looking for some advice /diy/
My anniversary is coming up and I plan on making a ring out of related pic, stabilised Oak Burl wood. I need to know I can give the wood a good shine. I don't have any types of buffing cloth or compounds.

This is the back of the blank, I'm thinking the front face might be a varnish, but I can see scuff marks.

Been away from home for 5 years, I have shit all tools. I've made Wooden Rings before, hence buying expensive wood.

Resort to taping a washing up sponge to a drill and smearing on some butter with ground up glass.

Or some cheap varnish...

Not often I say it, but get a dremel (or wangs knockoff) with the necessary bits, bobs and grinding widgets
It will do most of what you need in terms of the cutting, forming and polishing on small bits of work.

OP sure knows how to please the ladies.
Enjoy the divorce and I bet she will let you keep the ring

Progressive grits of sandpaper till p2500 . Then you can get some polishing compound , put it on a piece of cloth and rub it

How do you plan to make the ring? with lathe?
