~waving hand~ Hi Simon! Welcome to this wonderful list of lacemakers, both female and male. There are several of us male lacemakers lurking about in most countries. Only a few pipe up with Q/A and chat. Your question about the finishing of raw bobbins seems to be answered. I agree the oils on the hands will give it a nice patina. But do sand any rough spots so it doesn't snag the threads.
