"A real good honest man"...c'mon now! Are we talking about the same guy here? The same Marty Thompson hog & deer killer, creator of laminated weapon slinger art from Georgia? Find me something anyone has ever said contrary to him ever being a stand up honest man & bowyer.
How's that Marty? Got my 50 bucks? Kiddin. If you folks know Marty you know he's straight arrow. You don't you should.

Sixby, Marty told me that "he we playing hell with the wenge", that he filled the pores with a good quality super glue which turns the wenge almost ebony looking and then when he'd sand it back to the wenge to show the grain, that it would pull the glue out of the pores. He did this numerous times and it was driving him crazy. Would smooth on given better results than super glue?

Awesome bow Marty!! I use the thunderbird laquer sealer on wenge and it works great, I brush on two or three HEAVY coats, let dry then sand it all off. Lots of work, but that wenge looks super when it is smoooth!
