The more you sand and the smoother the wood is to begin with, the better. I buff many of the oily exotic woods such as Rosewood, Cocobolo, Kingwood, Ebony, etc. They take a mirror shine that holds up pretty darn well. I usualy start with "matchless white" on a sewn wheel, followed by "white diamond" on a loose wheel. That's followed by "no-scratch pink" on a loose wheel. Then, some white HUT PPP wax on a loose wheel. You can get all the compounds from K&G Knife Supply in Arizona.
