Paris I don’t know if this is what you want, if you look at my projects you will see a demilune, I used lacquer and polished it with 3M polishing compound, took the polishing off with a clean cloth and then buffed the surface. It was pretty simple and quick. But you have to let the lacquer cure for a week or so, so that it is as hard as it can get.

-- Just because you’ve always done it that way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.
