I have never used either of these woods till now. I am building a cue using a cored amboyna burl forearm and sleeve, with a cored koa handle. My 2 questions are:
1. The amboyna is developing a whitish color "film" on it. If I wipe it off with den. alcohol and epoxy seal coat it...will it come back?
2. The Koa. Do you just epoxy seal this, or does this wood need some kind of prep before doing so?
I tried using the search function to no avail...or I'm just an idiot and didn't search right lol. TIA,
