Thanks! Used a satin varnish in the end which I regret a little, it didn't really take it up very well. Used briwax for the holes which worked nicely

I'm not massively happy with the satin finish on mine either. Brush applied, three coats w/ sanding in between.

Still planning to sand mine back, address two gaps I missed and use my spray gun to see if that applies the varnish more evenly. Spring job though.

Not every finish allows it of course but I find that using a cloth for application always works better than brushing. It means a lot more coats because of the thinness, and also more control for the same reason.
I’ve no experience using a spray gun for this kind of thing.
