I love the stuff. Very pretty.
I treat it just like Ebony, blood wood or any of the other oily, super dense exotics. Like Gap, I treat it with oil, only I use natural Danish oil. Although, the stuff is so oily I don't think it really does accept any of it. But better safe than sorry.
I usually do a thin coat of super glue to seal any big pores, then steel wool that off and buff with carnauba wax and soft buffing wheel. I really like the way it comes out. Looks and feels really natural.
If the client wants it really shinny...I do CA as you suggest and carefully buff it with white compound.
I have used minwax poly too. But as Peter says, you will need to do several coats to insure it doesn't come off every time it gets dinged.
