Hi James.
What bearing surface is on your Dob now?
The River Wash will probably work ok. Rub a piece of Teflon over it and see how it feels. See if you can make very small movements without any stiction.
I work in a Joinery company making benchtops so I still have a small amount of Ebony Star. Some time ago I did some tests with WilsonArt HD Aeon laminates (River Gemstone 1832-35 and Bella Noche 1820-35) and they compared very favourably with Ebony Star. I haven't actually used it on a scope yet but I will when I run out of E.S. If you don't like the feel of the River Wash try some HD Aeon. Btw, the colour isn't important, it's the 35 finish you want.

Dave
