Polished Juniper Bark

What do you guys use to polish the live vein after bark removal on junipers?

i dont think many do polish the bark as it looks a bit false and contrived - but to just enhance the colour a bit a cloth with a little camelia oil gently rubbed on will make the red bark shine (for a day or two)

Take a walk in a forest look at the trees and see how many have a polished look.

Take a walk in the forest and see how many of them are planted in bonsai pots.

Get a very small elephant to rub his bum against it daily. That's how the big trees are polished in the forest where I'm from

Olive or vegetable oil works well too .... On elephants bottoms as well ....

Polish v. Clean. I just use a brass brush.

Thanks Billy,
I can always count on you for help.
