There are many techniques for finishing wood. Traditional techniques for bagpipes include shellac and varnish, but more recent preferences are for oil finishes. 

At the moment the techniques described here are creating 'aged' imitation ivory, etching metalwork, and a hand rubbed oil finish. As always, click on the Subpage links below to read the guides.
