                 Turning dried hardwood                                                                     is a slow and somewhat tedious process compared to turning green wood. I primarily use gouges and follow with sanding.  Sanding with wet dry sandpaper and a lubricant like mineral oil..
I start with an 80 grit paper, and work down to 1000 or 1500 grit.   I finish the surface with a light  rub on oil finish.  I actually enjoy a wide variety of finish approaches down to and including not obsessing about minor tear out and other imperfections. 

                That is the basic process
