They will probably get covered when I do pore filling prior to finishing. That is, if pore filling is usually done on rosewood - never worked with it before.
John, are the small white spots he talks about here what you mean by mineral deposits?

Yes that is what it may be. It is common to EIR . This will usually hide under the fill and stain process.
