How to finish ebony foretip?
Title pretty much asks the question. Finish I used for the stock? Linseed? Renaissance wax? What's the best? Thanks, Bob

I finish ebony tips right along with the stock. I usually wipe them off quickly with a rag damp with Acetone to reduce the oil content close to the surface but if I forget I don't seem to have any trouble anyway.

I just finish them with the rest of the stock too. Make sure they get well sealed, on the inside & outside, or they can crack. I use TruOil on just about everything, works best for me, but alot of guys like Permalyn.

Ditto what has already been said. Just make sure it is sealed well.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

I use a shellac schmear, nice thing about shellac (depending on what you want) is it imparts almost no color.
