Nice work Mike! I know what you mean about finish on bocote...it is one of the worst.. Sometimes an acetone wash helps prior to finishing oily woods or thin CA applied as a sealer.

Mike nice calls indeed.   *up* Say, you might want to try and reach out to James Harrison, callmaker of Owl Hoots, I know he uses a lot of Bocote so I suspect he may have some tips for finishing.
