Whilst your project is spinning, hold your wax stick and move it across your job; do not apply too much pressure. Use a soft clock to polish. Gloss Mate goes a long way. Always ensure your work is clean and free of any objects, such as large grit and dust particles; for an excellent gloss finish, sand your sanding with 100 to 120 grit sandpaper and work your way to a very fine 600 and more. I have finished work up to 3000 grit. The more time you spend at this stage, the better your job will turn out for that perfect finish. Stop spinning the lathe and sand your final finish by hand with the grain of the timber. 

Should I prime before using gloss, mate?

You can use a sanding sealer, but it is unnecessary should the job be for a food-related item.

Carefully use the wax stick, and do not press too hard, as you do not want to overheat the wax.

Careful use and low pressure always win out.

Lower speed on the lathe.

It is you who knows best. (Practice makes perfection)

Use a stain to create different effects, especially applying to the softer-grained wood, and wipe off the grain. It will show off the grain.
