g'day guys
im thinking of doing a black korina hollow tele with black binding and tung oil finish, unfinished wenge neck, but i have a couple of questions..
i seem to have heard lots of different advice on how to apply tung oil. could someone just slap on a quick set of instructions?
how glossy does tung oil turn out?
(here comes the dumb question) how do you finish it without leaning it on something? what i mean is, should i hang it up using a hook through one of the neck holes (this is on the body by the way) and finish it whilst hanging, or should i do one side and then the other? i figured that doing one side at a time could build up an inconsistent finish (overlaps etc), but i hav little to know experience in finishing wood, so any advice would be awesome.
cheers guys
