Laying epoxy on epoxy

Question:

I'm setting up to do some wood scales with an epoxy inlay consisting of crushed stone and epoxy (maybe resin) in a pattern cut in the wood.

After the inlay is done, what do think is best to finish the wood with?

Trying to make sure the wood finish will be compatible with the inlay finish. Tung, more epoxy, do it all in resin...or?

Thanks for ideas.
