Applying Danish Oil & Fretwork | Project Mehr | Guitar Build Log Part 7
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Are you ready for this?! The episode you've all been waiting for (minus the finale, of course :P) Today we finally put Danish Oil on this guitar and do some fretwork / polishing of the frets. Be ready for a lot of grain pop and discussion around guitar finishing in general as well as a nearly fatal issue with the neck. We are now ready to install all the hardware, do the wiring / cavity cover, and string it up.
This guitar is looking incredible, and other than a few small issues here and there, I couldn't be happier!

Thank you for sticking through it! Been a very long journey indeed.
I too love the look, feel and smell of black walnut.

It's my favorite 😍 though most of my projects have been mahogany, everytime I work with walnut I always wish I worked with it more Fun fact, the wenge fretboard is super smooth and smells like chocolate/coffee when machined 😀

@@austinshaner Nice, I want to plant some black walnut trees. I have a few pieces of it that are too large for me to machine at the moment but hopefully they have a future as some cool anyway.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this finished up. Looks awesome. Thanks for an incredible series, I learned so much. Trying to design my first guitar in fusion 360 now, it's so helpful to have your videos to reference.

I can't wait to get it all setup! :) And thank you mate! My pleasure
The finish is fantastic, for me it needs no more sheen. I think the wood and wood choice does the talking. Thanks for sharing.

The more I look at it the more I agree. I only said that because I was initially aiming for a bit more. But I loved the way it turned out @ 3 coats :)
I've only found your channel today. This a very good looking guitar

Thank you! Glad to have you here :)
A very nice work, Austin! Congratulations! What wood did you use for the neck and fretboard? The body is mahogany and the top walnut I assume. Is that correct?
Does danish oil hold when its applied over metal? Reason I ask is I'm about to install brass side dots on a neck, and was considering a danish oil finish, and I'd prefer just to do that over the side dots so the brass doesn't tarnish rather than have to coat them with something.
