We're up to 14 coats of Tru Oil at this point. Each coat gets thinner as the surface no longer absorbs any new oil. It just lays on top until it cures. Most of the guitar is very very smooth now (check out that reflection in the last pic!), though there are a couple of spots that still have some grain showing. I think just a few more coats and we'll be done. Then the plan is to let it cure for a couple of weeks, then buff it to a high shine. Then, FINALLY, we'll be able to put the electronics in, do some set up, and play it!
