wood hardener on fretless board

Sign in to disble this ad
my fretless has a pau ferro board that sounds pretty good, but ebony is still the nicest to my ears.
being a bit of a tinkerer, i have considered applying a laminate to the board (epoxy, urethane, etc) to get a sound closer to ebony, but have concluded that it gets too glassy for my taste, not woody enough.
i have been considering applying Minwax Wood Hardener on the pau ferro. the hardener absorbs into the wood instead of sitting on top as a laminate. has anyone tried this? if so, how were the results? tips?
