Yeah it turned out pretty good. I have a burl walmut pickguard arriving sometime in the mail. I'll eventually transfer the pickups there. For the body i plan on tru oil finishing it. But i might let it live a while unfinished.
That burl pickguard should look really sharp on it!
I was thinking about possibly using untinted Danish oil for the finish on my project. Do you think the tru oil is better, or just a different brand?
I never heard of danish oil i bet it is similar though. Truoil is meant for gun stocks and does end up tinting the wood a little darker but not much. Also there's tung oil that is pretty nice though it is a bit flammable and offgasses a bit.
