wenge help with finishing

From what I understand the oils in Wenge reap havoc on hard finishes, such as lacquer. You can use an oil finish but it’s best to clean the surface with acetone or similar solvent prior to applying the finish. I’d be interested to read what others say, who have more experience with Wenge. It’s one of my favorite woods but I’ve only used it for small pieces.

I Just posted a project with using wenge, A wine rack, I did a single coat of tung oil and two coats of wipe on poly and it came out very well.
