I am putting together a little pairing knife for my mother for Mothers Day. I have things mostly done, but am wondering how I should finish the wood.

I'm pretty familiar with CA, but am not too sure if the high gloss of CA is the best to show off the shine and glitter of the wood. I was thinking of using either tung oil or wipe on poly (semi gloss), but have not used either product.

Anyone have an opinion on how I should finish this wood for the best results?
