I have a few questions for you guys. I want to make a guitar with a mahogany neck and a black ebony fingerboard. I was hoping to leave it unfinished, but there's a lot of bad publicity about that sort of thing with open pored woods like mahogany (what with warping and dirt build up). I guess my question is whether or not the possible negative outcomes are likely enough to ruin the neck?
P.S.- I'm also thinking about doing a few layers of Tung Oil to keep out grime. Not on the fingerboard, but just on the meat of the neck. Thoughts?
