    The rosewood boards generally get left until you are ready for final set up, most treat them with lemon oil or a similar fretboard treatment. Typically they will be a bit dry, so they will drink in a fair bit of the oil at first. You apply, let it soak in and then remove any excess. It should leave the board with a nice sheen to it. After that its just a periodic maintenance thing.
