    I finally got my maple neck and fretboard. So I thought I would add an example for this thread.

    The fretboard was given 4 thin coats of tru-oil. Lightly sanded back with 2000 g sand paper. I had to re-polish the frets to remove the tru-oil and make them shine again.

    The headstock and neck have been given 10 coats of tru-oil with a light 1200 g sand after the 5 and 10th coats (and are looking quite glossy).

    I will give the headstock a few more coats to embed the vinyl logo.
