Hi guys,
please excuse me if there are typos or duplicity, since this is my first topic raised here, and english is not my native language.
I'm working on my basswood body and I'm trying to achieve the exact same finish as this guitar has. This is my first project, so I really have not too much experience with staining (besides staining bed frame and shelves...)

I thought, that this might be the way to get desired results. I intend to use black water-based stain, and then some sort of metallic or pigmented wax to make the grain pop out. I want the body sides and bottom to be natural, maybe stained to slightly darker color.

How do I preserve or seal the body after staining to get that nice, matt but silky surface? Would linseed oil be a good choice, or should I use teak or any other oil?
Many thanks guys, and once again, sorry for my grammars.
Cheers,
Jakub
