    Finishing Santos Mahogany

    I'll be making something with Santos Mahogany - am concerned about how it takes finish.
    Can I use hard oil (poly, linseed, thinner) or will the oils stop the finish curing?
    How about Rubio Monocoat?

    thanks, Mark

    I've finished Santos with solvent based varnish. It works fine.

    Thanks Bill, but the site give no information about how it takes the finishes I mentioned.
    I think the WDB is a great website, one I refer to often.

    Thanks Jamie, however I'd prefer to use either hard oil or Rubio on this project.
