<p>I’m glad you’re already evolving towards advanced techniques like scarf joints & frets? better to use the right saw, frets could pop up if the blade is too wide for the fret tangs? Check the width of the fret tang against the blades you have, to see if it’s narrow enough? good luck on your future builds :)</p>

<p>Good idea. I already ordered the Med. Med. fret wire. I will try to use the files I have. Although the dressing file looks like something I will need. I have the scarf joint drying. I don't have a fret saw, thinking about using my band saw or jig saw with the blade reversed, or could I use a hack saw? thanx bill</p>

<p>Very pretty indeed!</p>
<p>I notice you've not only adjusted your bridge for intonation, but you've also placed your string anchors so that the higher strings have successively longer placement. Might I ask where you found the information on that? ...as it's something I haven't seen elsewhere!</p>

<p>Yeah, I could see you had darker fret lines where there would typically be a fret marker, that's a cool idea. Personally I think linseed oil is a good option for you - take a look at Youtube videos etc of guys using it on gunstocks. They typically apply it with their fingers (no cloth or brush) and will apply multiple coats until they get the look they want. In my experience the tung oil may darken the walnut more and can become a sticky mess if you apply too much and don't get it wiped…</p>

In my experience the tung oil may darken the walnut more and can become a sticky mess if you apply too much and don't get it wiped down soon enough. Just my two cents, the topic of what finish to use can easily start a riot amongst a crowd of woodworkers so filter appropriately. :-)</p> I was wondering about what to…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2019-11-06:2592684:Comment:34049392019-11-06T16:06:47.491ZBillhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/Bill30
<p>I was wondering about what to put on it, i'll try the linseed oil. Or which would be better tung or linseed oil? It's hard to see but I used a wood burner on the the 3,5,7,9, 12. Today I'm gonna try my hand at another with a scarf joint. Gonna use a Comacho box. Yes it is walnut.</p>

<p>You have learned well grasshopper!! Seriously, that's a great looking piece of work, far prettier than my first one.</p>
<p>Is that a walnut neck? Some linseed or tung oil will be great on that if you want to finish it (just need to be careful not to smear your fret lines)</p>
