At last, time to start finishing the new neck. I sanded down with fine sandpaper and cleaned it off with white spirit.
I’ve used Tung Oil a couple of times on necks now (e.g. here) and really like the satin finish it gives. It will suit the guitar finish well too. I saw a recommendation ages ago to use coffee filter papers to apply it. The first 2 coats go on thinned down 50/50 with white spirit to soak in to the wood and seal it. Then I’ll need to put a coat on a day this week.
As soon as you start this stage, the grain comes alive - starting to look nice.
