What is the best finishing technique for mesquite. The blank I'm turning seems very porous.

<br />Thank for the additional info Billy. I was unaware of Mesquites tendency to go gray.

I have tried it once but maybe I was doing something wrong. It was applied with the ol baggie on the finger trick at low speed and seemed to cloud up on me instantly. After trying to sand it out I was not really impressed.
