Well long story short, I made a small frame out of Kingwood and put two basswood splines at each corner for a nice contrast. I wanted to leave it unfinished, as the beauty of this type of wood speaks for itself. However, when I took it to the framers, I noticed that my fingerprints were showing on it and making blotchy spots. I don't want to sand the wood, especially since the purple Kingwood sawdust tends to discolor the basswood splines, and I still like how it looks better without finish on it. Is there any easy way to remove fingerprints? Even though it's not quite perfect, I definitely want to put pics of it up here when I get it back from the framers, but I really think the blotches left by my hands look bad on this frame. It might be ready within the next couple of days or so, so I'd like to get this figured out. Any advice?
