BTW, I aware of the health problems associated with Ebony.

Hi Larry

You can apply whatever finish you are using on the rest of the build,be it oil,wax or poly.Just make sure you give it a light wipe with acetone before application.I have found though that in practice,for Ebony wales for example,they have been sanded and wiped so many times during construction that hardly any residual oils from the timber remain on the surface.

 

Kind Regards
