Hey Todd, I have not used Meranti board, but if it already finished, applying BLO will not do anything.
Let us know how it works out.

gave this board a try yesterday.i liked the way it cut no small splintering on the back side like the other plywood i used. posted the results in the brag section.

I am wondering about the board too.  Guess I will have to read the "BRAG" section for a change.  Seldom do. :(
