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

Toomany ToolsI 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.

fla3006I 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.

D HumbargerDitto what has already been said. Just make sure it is sealed well.
Thanks, guys! 1st coat is on as we speak.Bob
I use a shellac schmear, nice thing about shellac (depending on what you want) is it imparts almost no color.
