A few years ago in FWW there was a lengthy article about finishing a piano. Do a search and you may find it.
You could also get in touch with Jeff Jewitt at http://www.homesteadfinishing.com and pick his brain.
Tom,
THANK YOU for the link. I own a couple of Jeff Jewitt books but I didn't know about this site! I'll post a message and see what happens!
THANKS again!
