We are receiving hand-carved doors from Zanzibar.  They are made of
mvule wood and finished with a french polish (rubbed shellac) and a
copal or copala finish?  Can anyone tell us what a copal finish
contains?  Does anyone know good sources where we might find out more
about the wood?

Thanks,
Lynn Norris
