I'm just finishing up my very first restoration. The wood I'm using is some very nice figured bocote. My initial plan was to use gloss epoxy, but I'm so enamored of the graining, I'm having second thoughts. As I'm getting closer to the final Mocro Mesh, I'm noticing an almost calico colored cow horn pattern to the wood grain, and I really don't want to lose that. So, what may be an option for bocote? I've read that an oil finish might not work because of the already present natural oil in this wood. I've also read that no finish at all is possible for the same reasons as stated above. I've never worked with bocote in any form before so any help would be appreciated!
