I bought a slice of Bird's Eye maple as a plaque to mount a weather instrument to hang on the wall. The slice has a birds eye maple pattern on the face but it also has a beautiful bark pattern around the edge perimeter. (lots of little points).
I would like to keep if fairly natural. Unfortunately I don't have a scrap to practice with.
I'm thinking of linseed oil, tung oil or danish oil. I'm not concerned about the face but how would these finishes do on the bark section?
Any other suggestions?
