Thanks guys for the input.
I'm curious. It'll probably really piss me off if I ruin the look of an otherwise beautiful neck and board,
But I think I'll finish the neck with all the stain and oil and then have a go with raven oil.
I''ll also consider adding a small amount of raven oil to lemon oil, commonly used on dry boards, rather
than neat raven oil. I read somewhere on the net about a guy who used some horrible stain that made his
fingers black for years every time he played the thing.
But I don't want it to end up sticky like a shiny oiled finish.
In any case I'll take lots of pics and by then I'll have figured out how to post pictures.
God I hate interfaces between machines and having to jump through all kinds of hoops
to do something simple.
