    Daily update......After rupturing my ACL and Medial ligaments yesterday at football training it looks like the project will getting my undivided attention......Initial sanding has been completed on the Body and neck.....up to P320 grit....

    I have dampened and resanded the neck (Whiskering) i think its called......amazing how the fibres stand up.....

    Just grain filled with a wet timber mate mix and will wait for that to dry until tomorrow......

    Neck and headstock has been given two coats of Tru Oil ( Bought from The Gun Emporium ) in Tullamarine, Melbourne (Sorry DB)....

    Questions:

    Can i use a random orbital sander to do the initial sand back of the grain filler or should i hand sand with the grain using P240?

    What colour should i stain this baby??? I am thinking a dark blue or a green?

    Has anyone used a Tru Oil conditioning sheen oil as a final finish on the neck?

    Should i be treating the fretboard or not?
