I was wanting to know on your horn bows do you apply your finish over the horn or just leave it natural and buffed out

bub as you know Ive never built a horn bow, but I have used plenty of horn overlays. I have found If I don't seal it with shellac first the oil finishes will peel off in time. If I stick some shellac on first then tung or tru oil, it works great and looks great after lots of use.
