Joe, I agree. I don't like any finish on ebony/wood sharps. Tung Oil is the ticket. Al From: Joseph Garrett Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 11:46 AM To: pianotech Subject: Re: [pianotech] methods of refinishing sharps Chuck, Number One: "1. Sand down to 600 grit and wipe down with acetone. Dye with high quality shoe maker's leather dye, finish with ureathane. (Michael Spreeman)" I do, essentially the same, except I like to finish with Tung Oil, which is a renewable, tough finish. (I use it on my Work Bench.<G>) Reason: I prefer the "feel" of the wood on my fingers. Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
