However, I like the set-up you have for this piece: it displays the colors very nicely.
The effect you have with this finish is quite common, and usually is rather harmless, unless you expect the piece to endure prolonged contact with liquid. Even then, there are some cases where little happens, save that spots of no gloss appear.
Most frequently, I have seen this effect happen when woodworkers either don't sand in between layers of finish, or have applied a slow drying finish in a dusty environment. My initial recommendation then is to use about four layers of finish, each sanded just enough after curing (when you cannot smell the off-gas) to remove the gloss effects and discoloring residues. Then apply your finish either slowly revolving on the lathe, or far away from your work area to be covered immediately after the application.
