I would be concerned about the use of oil finishes for a vanity. The
exposure to water (combined with soap, make-up and such) will tend to stain
or discolor the Ipe. I would use a hard polyurethane. Several coats.

Talk to me about finishing. All I've ever seen relates to oil, and I'm
concerned that more would be needed. A film finish with some chemical
resistance. Would the ipe hold it?

Outdoors is so much easier. Sandpaper and sunlight. Good.
