Great looking result. Looks so right.
nice looking build Max. Has it taken you 5 days to complete the build ? If so big slap on the wrist, the tru oil is probably still curing
Nice one Jmax! For bone nut maybe check out Northwest Guitars (UK based) They may have something pre-made that fits

Worried about the finish curing, but it does look good.
I started the whole process on the 21st of July - I've only been posting over the past five days, so I guess it gives the impression that I've been going faster than I actually have been. I just haven't had enough time to post as I complete each step.
I used three coats on the neck, four on the body, with 24 hours between each coat. Then a couple days of curing. Just enough of a finish to give a bit of sheen, but the grain still shows through - I'm not going for glass, and I fully expect to keep touching it up over time.
Northwest guitars (a good store - great customer service) don't do a bone Gibson style nut (though they do a Graphtec one).
I bought my last Gibson style bone nuts from ebay here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/43MM-BONE-...kAAOSw-4BXZ93o
They cut well and file and polish up nicely. But the slots aren't deep so you'll really need some nut files to cut them to the correct depth.

Looks great! I do love a TO finish
