I am about to begin finishing an all-maple neck and an all-mahogany body, and I've decided that I want to use tru oil. I know how to use sealer and grain filler on the mahogany, but I'm not necessarily looking for a "glass like flat finish." Would it require a ridiculous ammount of Tru-Oil if I skipped the grain filling? And, if I just filled once or twice, could I still get an open pored feeling? (The body is approximately LP sized flat top).
Tru oil is kind of expensive compared to pure tung and danish oil. So, how many 8 oz. bottles should I buy to complete the body and the maple neck?
