Finishing New Guinea Rosewood

Hi Everybody

Another finishing question - I made a name plaque out of New Guinea Rosewood
and I am about to finish. I was thinking of using the same water-based poly
(mentioned below, for the potato/onion bin), but not sure if that is
optimal.

What would be the best way to get the INCREDIBLE grain more visible, without
darkening any more than it already is?

Thanks!

I prefer to use velvit oil for about 3 days, then buff out, let sit for a week
or two then apply Target Coating PSL clear. It is great for spraying but caan
be brushed as well. 3 coats with very light sanding between (1200 grit) and you
can have a beautiful gloss.

I'e finished it with NC lacquer and it turned out really good. Plus it is
easy to spray.
