Hi Greg,

Traditional material for the Marine Band is Pear wood. Most people use Beeswax to seal combs. If you look in the Harp L archives there are lots of posts on how to do it. Some people use french polish and others use polyurethane varnish as well. But the general consensus for the best job it seems is Beeswax.

Hope this helps
Paul
