Is the Nelsonite wood stabilizer suitable for tru oiling over or is the raw wood/no warrenty better?

[Bengal65]

The Nelsonite is fine with Tru-oil over the top. I've done about 9 necks from them this way. The Nelsonite is just added insurance your neck won't arrive warped.

By the way, I should add that Jackson/Charvel uses the Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil on their necks. Mike Kotzen told me they wipe a coat on and wipe it right off. I use 2 coats on my heavily figured Birdseye necks just for added insurance.

Best stuff in the world for keeping it nice is Outer's gunstock oil or selmer woodwind bore oil. It doesn't leave behind the icky filmy feel that has to wear off like tung.

I went with their toung oil finish and couldn't be happier.

i did too. i've since used boiled linseed oil to maintain it and i like the way it feels after i buff the excess off.

another +1 for the gunstock oil. so far i've used tung oil, boiled linseed, danish, and gunstock oils. the only one that i don't think i'd use anymore is tung oil b/c i seem to remember it taking longer than the others to complete.

Tru oil rocks. It is best applied in multip thin coats over the period of a few days. They you can buff it out or knock down the shine with grey scotch brite. I have tried Gel Varnish as well, it worked OK, but didnt feel the same as the Tru Oil.
