The oils in those woods as you know can cause drying problems with some finishes. I've found that swabbing on alcohol to leech out the surface oils prior to finish usually works. BTW I'm working on my 1st set of scales and in ebony so this post caught my attention. Have you ever left ebony scales unfinished and just polished them up?
