Hi.  I'm going to be finishing a new Warmoth neck soon and just wanted to see if my plan seems reasonable. It's a birds eye maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard for a Tele.  What I'm planning on doing is a coat or two of amber varnish followed by several coats of a wipe on gloss poly.  Does this sound like a good plan and what should I do about the edges of the fingerboard?  Thanks for any suggestions. 
 
You have two options. You can tape off the fretboard's sides, or you can just tape off the top. Best idea is to take the sides, though, because rosewood is oily. It looks fine to me, but you might want a sealer coat. Wait for the experts, though.
