I'm soon to be receiving a Swamp Ash body Strat with a Walnut top and I want to get my finishes ready so I can start right away once it gets here.
On the Walnut I'm planning on using Dark Walnut Danish Oil and Beeswax (tested this on scrap, and I really like the look)
The Ash is posing the problem right now. I've read that Oil finishes on Ash eventually turn to an ugly yellow colour so I'm hesitant to use a shade of Danish Oil on the Ash.
Essentially I want the Ash to look like the guitar in the attached picture. I really like the natural look with the dark grain.
Does anybody have any experience with getting an Ash finish like this? Do you think a grain fill was used?
Thanks!!
