For what it's worth Mark,one thing I have done over my many years of wood working when it comes to applying a Urethane or Vanish is to cut the first coat with Mineral Spirits by 10 to 20%. This cuts down on the viscosity and allows the material to penetrate the gain and make for a much better sealer and bonding agent.

I would go with a 120 on the orbital for prep and scuff sand in-between each coat with a 000 steel wool and finish with a 400 to 600 and most importantly take you time. This is only my preference other may do it differently. You may also give pumice some thought for your final finish. No matter which road you venture down like Mickey Dix said we are really enjoying your journey so keep us posted.
