Thank Rob. Your description is good validation for the application technique I've adopted -- with grain, cross grain, with grain. This with a foam brush as an applicator has provided the best results to date in terms of overall quality of finish. Nice and smooth (other than the runs and overbrushed blemishes :) ).

I've used the Captain's varnish, as well. I have a full coat's worth of the Interlux left and will give it one more go.
