Is there a good process for treating very light, porous wood (like
balsa, light driftwood, basswood) to harden the surface?

A lot of modelers use CA (cyanoacrylate, superglue) to harden balsa. There
are several thicknesses; thin would work best for this. You could also use
epoxy thinned with isopropyl alcohol (100% IPA from the hardware store, not
the watered-down stuff from the drug store).
