Good ways to finish Bubinga?

[Ernie Swanson]

I am almost to the point of finishing my knife and was looking for some ways to finish bubinga.

If anyone can help me out here it would be very appreciated!!

I've done a fiar bit of bubinga, knives and other stuff. Lovely wood and it takes a great finish.
After sanding to 600, I use several liberal coats tung oil(polymerized or straight), wipe well, let dry, buff with Tripoli and White diamond, then finish with a carnuaba wax buff. You may fine a last, final, light buff with white diamond or a clean buff will really make it shine.

Good luck.

Thats what I do Ernie and it works good tung oil is good . Also TRUE OIL GUN STOCK FINISH cheap and really good get the 4oz oil the spray works but not as good. I buff brown wax also white diamond depends how it comes out.

Go very slow with the belt speed, and with a sharp belt. It'll burn on ya' quick. Teak oil works great.
