What should I use to "finish" the Cigar Box

Started this discussion. Last reply by Glaze Mar 12, 2011. 3 Replies

I am building my  first true CB instrument.  Finishing the neck and top (mahogany and catalpa respectively) with True-Oil.  What do folks use on the box so as to preserve the  images on the paper?
