I turned a pen blank out of Cocobolo this afternoon and applied 10 coats of thin CA. I noticed that I didn't get all of the dust out of the grain. Nice CA finish, but now I can really see the flaws. Do you guys have any tips other than blowing off with compressed air & cleaning with denatured alcohol? I tried everything and I'm discovering that Cocobolo is giving me this problem. Is that because it's porous or because of the dark color of the wood? While I'm asking, are some woods less prone to having this porosity? I'm about ready to move on to a different species of wood. Thanks in advance! ----Bobby Moyers----
