Try "Sumi Ink". It is the stuff that is used for Japanese Calligraphy. But the same caution applies as with other inks...very porous wood will absorb ink along the edges.

I have also been told that hard floor wax will work. I learned that in a class that I took.
Good luck! all of the suggestions are good. I have used black polish also and it works good if the wood is not soft.

Many thanks to all for all the suggestions. I will be trying them all! If I discover something else, I'll be sure to share. I just love this forum. It seems there is nothing someone hasn't already done or tried. You are all great inspiration.
Thanks again,
Shari
