Hello World! My first guitar project

[ross.pearson]

..I always recommend buying a small tin (250ml) of "regular" oil based poly and thinning it with turps to use as a wipe-on. It's way cheaper than buying the stuff labelled specifically as wipe-on poly. What you pay for is basically pre-thinned poly...

Ah, that would have saved me some money on refinishing the dining table. Don't know why it didn't occur to me to do that.

Sounds like what I have will be perfect then, I'll definitely be using it!

If you're talking about staining the fretboard

Ah, no, I've mentally jumped ahead to future build ideas. Thinking of using Jarrah wood for a fretboard. I'm sure it's fine and loads of people do it, I've just never actually seen it done.

That said, that's some great advice for if/when I work with another maple fretboard, thanks!
