Oh, man, that does truly give it a hand made look ;-)

Thanks Mikie91au, Frankie and fender3x. A simple addition which is a little different!

Finally, I got around to:
Adding some 3M-471 tape to the binding.
Adding a coat of Ubeaut sanding sealer to the neck and body.
Lightly sanded everything with 600 g wet and dry.
Adding a coat of Feast Watson Teak Brown stain diluted to 50%.
I'm hoping that the sanding sealer may have stopped some of the stain leaching under the tape. Fingers crossed.

Today, I have given the body and neck 2 coats of Tru-oil.
After it was touch dry, I removed the 3M vinyl tape. I am very impressed with the results - hardly any stain crept under the tape.
