incorporating wood?

I'm thinking of doing a lead came panel using some thin slabs of wood as the "glass pieces," mixed in with the regular glass pieces. I can slice them with my band saw no prob, but I'm wondering, anybody has any suggestions what kind of goop I can slop on the wood? Looking for something that doesn't soak in but it being there to protect other stuff from doing so (solder flux, putty, cleanenmup stuff etc.) and once the panel is all done, I could just peel it off and then oil finish the wood slabs to get the grain to show. I'd greatly appreciate any clues you might come up with, Bart.

ever use penetrol? it would probably keep the wood nice from start to finish with out having to peel off anything or oil the wood??? Use care with the stuff tho, as it tends to spontaneously combust while liquid. Once dry, no problem. May be worth a test anyway. m

The only thing I can think of that would be reliable at the temps involved would be thin aluminum foil (regular kitchen not heavy duty.) I would finish the wood first then use a thin coat of rubber cement to hold the foil to the wood. The foil would disipate the heat of soldering and cover for chemicals. You would have to do the rubber cement after finishing because I think it will interfere with the finishing if applied to the bare wood.
