Anyone have experience finishing Lacewood? What looks good?
Lacewood Finishing Ideas?

I have never tried to stain lacewood, so I dont know about that. But have used shellac and danish oil both. I like the beauty of the wood to show through. Lacewood took both finishes well and looked extremely good.

prefer glossy for highly figured woods.
I like airbrush sprayed blond de-waxed shellac with a sprayed poly top- coat. 3 or 4 coats of shellac and 3-12 coats of poly. These are very light airbrush coats, lighter than you can get by hand brushing or wipe on.

Only done bowls, but they look very nice when wet sanded with natural Danish oil and buffed..
