In reply to Jim Behr. For this bird, I just used a mineral oil and beeswax mix. I also occasionally grab a little bead of beeswax and rub in on with bare hands. Works onto the wood and is a good fidget toy while watching TV or listening to a book.

In reply to Jim Behr. I finish with Tung oil and use multiple coats. First coat soaks in for 10 minutes, then wipe dry. Second coat after 12 hours. Polish by hand to beautiful luster. Add more coats and polish even shinier. Great finish I have found. Not affected by natural oils in the wood.

In reply to Garrett. What is the secret to finishing Bocote? My wipe on poly does not seem to cure, always tacky

Used Bocote to make a comfort bird for some family. Beautiful wood, but was a bit hard for hand carving with just a knife.

kept it simple, used for a serving board, then used the leftovers for an acrylic mix board.
