>>it starts to flake off sooner and later and its fugly<<

Thanks for the info. That's good to know.
I haven't put any finish on the nocks that are on my bow (yew elb but not a warbow)
I just wiped some on a scrap piece that I was "testing".
Too darn much work to chance a mistake.

It seems no matter how fine I go with the sand paper they are still a bit dull until I put a finish on.

If you're doing everything by hand, I find metal polish or paint cutting compounds work extremely well on horn, after you have finalised the shape and general finish with fine sandpaper (e.g approx 320 grade).  In the UK these products translate in my case to Solvol Autosol, and/or T-Cut.  I dont know what your equvalent products are in the US or the rest of Europe, but you must have something similar  ;)
