My Build Diary

[Trevor Davies]

Hi Trevor,

Haven't considered any stain for the neck. Was planning on just the Tru oil finish. The reason I taped off the heel was hat I didn't want anything to interfere with the fit, as it was very snug out of the box, I thought that coats of oil or such would add layers thus potentially messing with the fit, and if it had to be sanded back, I would mess the fit up even more. Suggestions? Very open and keen to learn from people that have done this before.

I would add some tru-oil to the neck heel, especially the parts that are visible when the neck is on. Otherwise, it may be difficult matching the colour.

Hi Trevor, Wanted to say thank you for the advice, it got me to thinking and you're very correct, there were parts of the heel that are visible once seated. Appreciate the advice, you saved me from making a mistake that wouldn't have ben noticed until much later on, and would have been harder to fix. Thank you.
