I recently completed the burnishing process. My overall opinion is that it isn’t that difficult, the neck is significantly smoother and faster, but I’m not sure if that matters much to me. Time will tell. If I gravitate more to this neck, I might burnish my others, but I think it matters more to...

I agree, but I’ve never experienced a super fast neck that is raved about and it’s something I want to experience. Mine is definitely better than any other neck I own as is, but that’s mostly because the size and shape are perfect for my hands. If I hate a burnished neck, I can return to near...

I think you definitely helped a lot of future readers.

That first paragraph is what I was looking to understand and that makes total sense. Maybe one day I’ll be willing to reinvent the wheel, but probably not on this first effort. I’ll stand on the shoulders of giants. I am almost done putting everything together. Pics to arrive soon with before...

I’ll post a pic soon

That is really good to know. Thank you so much. I wonder if there is a reason to burnish with sandpaper as opposed to using a smooth stone. I watched videos while putting the guitar together of this guy burnishing wood spoons he makes with various objects (smooth stones, marbles, deer antler)...

How did you burnish it? I was considering using a spoon

I found that out after googling. Fast typing will get us all, but it was very easy to get to the right set of videos! (So thank you!) All of them show burnishing and oiling though, but for maple where I am confident it is required. I’m just not sure if oil, burnish, or both are required for...

I like how you said obviously it will be suggested… because now I’m going to have to google what that is because I’m obviously a noob

I recently purchased a canary neck, king wood fingerboard for a warmoth velocity build. I will be leaving the neck raw, so my question is am I supposed to lightly sand it? It feels pretty nice already, but this is my only warmoth and I’m not sure if I’m optimizing my experience or not. I’ll...
