Well, I'm finishing the neck (Maple-Rosewood Reverse Strat) on a kit build, not how I would have wanted to but this stupid midwest weather and my shoulder are not cooperating! Grr!
I'm using Tru-Oil. There, I've said it. yeah, you've heard me rail about this not being a proper finish but what with the weather changing day to day, a water-borne Brite Tone finish is not going to be possible. 90°f and over makes the finish kind of dry and low humidity leads to blushing. Tru-Oil was my only choice at the moment.
Anyway, sanded to 400, taped off and put the first coat on, t-h-i-n! It took several hours to hard cure but it's on there. I'm also doing a Claro Walnut stock for my Ruger 10-22 so it has one coat, too. Both are looking good so far.
I'm trying to get some pix to put up but I will keep all of you updated.
Feel free to flame my by DM for using Tru-Oil.
