So, I took friends' advice and ordered polishing papers, which worked really well.
And there they shall. I've moved on to other fun projects.

That's turned out really beautiful, I like it a lot.
Really nice and classic! If you follow the polishing papers with a little Brasso, it should take out most of the remaining micro scratches.
Nice and shiny, Kari. Well done on the level.
Thanks, guys. The cherry has darkened quite a bit, which is really nice.
Chris, thanks for the tip. I'll get some and try it.
Absolutely top notch Kari.
Wonderful work. Congratulations!
Kari - good job with the polishing papers. Brasso is great stuff, but if you can't get it, a little metal polish will also suffice - Rob
Nice level.
Remember to put all the screw slots in the same direction!
Kari,
after 37 years as a professional woodworker it takes a lot to impress me, You little level impresses me..... Great eye for detail and proportion. Ill be making one of my own. Thanks for sharing.
I tweeked a few things from your design, added a bottom , stainless steel and macassar ebony. Now that the CAD drawing is done I hope mine comes out as well as yours. For future reference, when you buff metal the results are far better on a machine buffer with jewelers rouge or tripoli compound. what compound to use depends on the metal.
The new version.
