Just a word of caution when using tru oil, - especially when working with a wood that has "denser" and less dense areas on the surface, the finish never seems to be uniform, and tends to come out fairly much "blotchy". I have just spent a lot of time trying to finish off my first guitar, and eventually after perhaps 10 to 12 coats, sanded it all down.
to my surprise, the tru oil penetrated the timber very well, and sealed the pores very nicely. The finish is now great just as it is, and I have been applying only a good wood polish, which gives it a great looking sheen finish.
