Thanks again Trevor

Slowly getting toward the actual start line with this project - better to cut once ....

My thinking now for the finish now is as follows - noticed TO is hard to find except online:
  • Spalt Front: Tru Oil with Feast and Watson gloss varnish - on the assumptiont this will give grain some definition and protect it
  • Rear: Grain fill then stained dark brown with Feast and Watson with satin varnish


My questions for clarification please:
  • Neck: I am planning to apply tru oil only - is this ok?
  • Maple fret board: Can I just tru oil this lightly or is another product prefered?
  • I assume the front varnish over tru oil will need to be oil based?
  • On the back I am after a satin finish - can I just TO it with some stain and not varnish? ie adequate protection?


Thanks in advance
