Hi all.
I am about ready do the finish on a cocobolo guitar and was wondering if any actually stains it when they do their finish.
I know stain in some instances helps make the grain pop.
Thanks for any advice.

Re: Staining cocobolo
here I can say no finish usually does fine. Coco is such a pretty wood.

Re: Staining cocobolo
I agree. Just wanted to ask.
Also, I found that a mahogany colored filler pretty much disappears from view under the lacquer on my samples I tested.
Thanks for the help John.
