I'm partial to Watco Danish Oil or Deftoil. These are penetrating oil finishes that harden in the wood. For a beautiful wood like Goncalo Alves, I would use the natural/neutral color.

Hope this helps!

Look up some older threads on using super glue.I tried it on cocobolo and it worked fine.I made a handle with Goncalo Alves not to long ago and sealed it with Aero Gloss model airplane dope( clear Laquer).
