I did one set of sharps last year, stripped, sanded to 600, tung oil, f=
ollowed by steel wool - they looked great but were so smooth that the f=
ingers slip on them. Customer was happy but it bothered me. Shouldn't t=
here be some traction? /jason

Yup, that's pretty much what I do. I like the look very much.

But seriously folks, one can strip all the old finish off the ebony sha=
rps, sand them and then use e.g. Tung Oil or Danish penetrating resin (=
Watco) to preserve the wood and yet leave its beauty visible - no? AT l=
east that's what SHeldon Smith taught me to do back in '71.
