How would you accomplish this finish?
Does it look like lacquer over oil to you?

Roasted neck and body for sure. So you guys think that's oil, no grain filler, and lots of buffing?
No hard finish coat? No lacquer?
The Percoco Custom Shop proudly introduces the Model 1918 "Frank". Classically inspired by Mario's own family roots. A one piece aged and roasted swamp ash body paired with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard provide an incredible amount of resonance, clarity and sustain. The hand rubbed oil finish retains the woods natural vintage look, amazing feel and woody tone.
I've done Tung oil and it never got that dark. Does Tru Oil? Never used it
Thank you! Good post!A little internet sleuthing has me feeling pretty sharp eyed....
Danish Oil and Tru Oil are both hard drying since they have resin varnish in them.
G&L uses Tru Oil on their "gun oil" necks.. Fender Custom Shop and Musikraft use danish oil on their oil-finished necks. Warmoth says, "All our necks are dipped in an oil based penetrating sealer which is compatible with virtually all secondary finishes. This provides enhanced stability; however, it is not adequate protection for playing."
- Danish Oil is a equal mix of 1 part varnish, 1 part boiled linseed oil, 1 part thinner. It is considered a penetrating oil
- Birchwood-Casey Tru Oil is 3 parts varnish, 1 part linseed oil, 4 parts thinner, so it dries faster and harder of the two. It is not a penetrating oil. It's "on label" use is for gun stocks
- Tung Oil contains no resin, it's just tung oil that we thin. it's a drying oil, but it doesn't harden
As you mentioned, roasted swamp ash turns a dark walnut color when coated.
No. Not even close. It's gunstock finish. Three parts varnish, one part linseed oil, four parts thinner.I keep hearing gun oil , is that the regular oil you use to clean your gun barrel and stock, and if so could you theoretically use wd40. If not then what is gun oil

Ya Ballistol not really a finish.No. Not even close. It's gunstock finish. Three parts varnish, one part linseed oil, four parts thinner.
That's an eye-poppingly beautiful instrument!Polymerized Tung Oil does set up hard, and takes a nice polish; got it from Veritas. This guitar body and pickguard has 10-12 applications. After initial drying and wiping of excess oil I put it over a 25W dehumidifier/heater(Sta-Dri) for a day before sanding and reapplying. Good thing about it is absolutely no toxic solvents or other additives.

Other than that it is darn near potable!Although it has a content of 50% mineral spirits added to it.
I love me some "Cold Ethyl"Found out something interesting. I was told that Naphtha is the precursor to all other crude oil distillation products. Do you guys know if that's true? Also is ethylene the mother liquid for products made with natural gas?
