I thought tru oil was mineral oil. I've never done anything to my boards but it seems like a lot of people around here condition regularly. Just trying to figure out what to do.
me neither! I imagine it will look a bit like this:cant wait to see it
I've got a ziricote board on my baritone canary neck and love it. Similar feel to ebony and very attractive grain. What's not to like?
I'd say ebony and ziricote are my two favorite fretboard woods.
As far a neck meat there's lots of good options. My favorite three that I've tried are bubinga, roasted maple, and canary. I also have a wenge and a goncalo and I've played a rosewood; these have a waxier feel to me and personally I like the "dryer" feeling woods.
I know, right? I don't know if they could have intentionally done this before sanding down the headstock to meet the fretboard, but it came out quite nicely indeed.Wow, that's stunning. The grain of the fretboard almost look like they merge with the grain lines of the shaft wood. Beautiful!
Yeah the canary is definitely less yellow than I had expected, but I like it so far...Very cool. The canary almost looks like ash.
Warmoth generally picks excellent looking grain patterns and orientations when possible. Tops, fretboards, even orienting slabs of wood for neck shafts or body blanks is usually done tastefully at warmoth.When it comes to matching the fretboard to the neck warmoth does a good matching job. At least on mine. They definitely plan it to make it look right
