I am turning a blank of African Black Wood for the first time and was curious what type of Finish should I do.  Any suggestions

CA works great, I have also used velvit oil too. 

Good luck,
Jason

What kind of final look are you wanting?  Glossy or satin?

I really like a glossy finish.  I haven't tried CA yet so I'll need to practice on some scrap calls.  I have finished a Cocobolo barrel using Shellac, then Spar which turned out nice.

If you're looking for glossy, CA's unbeatable. 

Let me know if you need a hand getting started on your CA, if and when you give it a try.  It isn't hard, but there's a lot more ways to do it wrong than there are ways to do it right.   :yes:
