What sort of finish should I use on my BBI?

I use Tru-Oil on all my bows.

Shellac or super glue if ya got it. Super glue spreads easier and farther than you think it would. I have used spray Helmsman on ipe before with good luck as well.

i have used a water based satin verathane- the high gloss products are actually a lot harder- when i have used them, i rub down with fine steel wool- to satin it.

Tip..........
If you use super glue and spread it with your fingers, keep them moving and have plenty of venelation. The fumes are a killer and fingers stuck to the riser ain't much fun either.

You may have trouble with the Tru-Oil not wanting to dry on ipe. A lacquer or shellac should do the trick. I wouldn't recommend super glue though, to risky imho. I've had good luck with Deft spray lacquer and I know some people swear by it. Use whatever works for you and post some pics, I'm sure it'll be a beauty.
