How to finish a maple fretboard

Being in the USA, Dingo products cannot be shipped via air. Do you folks know of other similar finish methods that are applied by hand?

Hi, wipe on poly, wipe on lacquer, or tru-oil will do the trick. I'd suggest whatever you're using to finish your neck, run it over the fretboard at the same time. When you're done you can carefully clean off the frets prior to level and dress.

Thank you for your input, Ross. So, I could finish the entire neck (I want to paint the headstock) with True Oil? That would be awesome since I plan to finish with TO over rattle can opaque acrylic on the guitar body. I also found the following video that looks interesting.

Maybe we have the Color Tone product here.

The video I linked above actually uses wax on the fretboard. Based on what I've read on this thread, it may not be a good idea!
