Yeah mate. Want to keep it as close to the natural colour as possible but also quick. Was thinking about doing a clear coat on there but in the end wax won out because I want this neck fast. Don't want stickiness from the poly.
Digging the natural finish.

yeah ok good one. Be interested to hear how the Dingowax feels, presume you will need quite a few coats to protect it and re-apply every so often as it will eventually be wiped off with hand movements

Yeah mate. If it's not durable enough what i'll do is a couple of coats of TO and then wax it like a music man
@pabs cheers mate!
sounds like a plan Nicko.
Wouldn't think the wax alone will give much protection from wear and knocks

You're probably right Wokks. Will see what happens. Most of my builds are experimental
So on the headstock I did the angle on the top to get rid of the tooth but I'm not sure how to tackle the curve on the bottom part of it. Should I just draw a line and sand in or would there be a cleaner way? The pics on page 3 if you need to see it again
hey Nicko,
draw the line on the headstock and 40 grit paper wrapped around a round object will get rid of the waste pretty quickly, or attack with a medium rasp or file if you have one then sand smooth. Or you said you have access to a workshop would be a 5 min job with a drum sander !
