Show some pics! I have lots of honey locust around here (too much!) and I love the way it looks.

I’ve used shellac and amber varnish both on bowls of HL and I like the way it deepens the red. Just keep it off of the yellow sapwood, it makes it really plastic looking.

If you don’t want the amber, any clear poly, oil or water, will work. Definitely try some test pieces first!
