lespaul123 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hey I am finishing my guitar, and it has a snakewood fingerboard. I cant decide on whether or not to make it finished or oiled. Which way would be better for the wood and look the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 The oil will enhance the grain and also give it protection from sweaty hands etc. I use Danish oil as it dries reasonbly quick and is durable. I give it about 3 coats rubbed on with a cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I think you can safely leave snakewood unfinihed. If you must, rub on some fingerboard oil, which isn't really a finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
