<p>Obviously there are a thousand +1 opinions for finish. I've been doing Danish Oil + Paste Wax because it's fast, easy, and pretty good! The whole process doesn't take long. </p>
<p>Danish Oil isn't bad on it's own, but the addition of Paste Wax after you're done with the oil really adds a lot. Makes the neck smooth and not tacky at all. Plus it's even easier than the Danish Oil!</p>

<p>On frets, go for it man! I was intimidated by them as well.

<p>If you wanna play finger style fretless really hard fretboard material will help your cause greatly. I definitely agree with Kigar, and wouldn't use tru oil inside without at least opening all the windows and doors. That stuff smells very strong. The fumes are probably toxic.</p>

Right. The "boiled" is critical (I know it's not literally boiled.) I've had not issues with BLO, but just linseed oil is as you say.

<p>Don't use linseed oil, it never dries properly, always stays soft and gummy. TrueOil is the way to go for a simple rub-on oil finish - easy to use and gives a great result.</p>

<p>I did some reading in here and one of the suggestions was to use Miniwax paste finishing wax after using 600 grit to polish the neck. IT really brings out the grain and make the neck smooth, like butter.</p>

<p>I like spray shellac over boiled linseed oil. You could use 0000 steel wool to knock the shine off after it's cured if you want more of a matte finish.</p>
<p>Ditto to Kigar's comment...better to do them in the garage or outside with plenty of ventilation.</p>

Maybe others have further suggestions but I have used tung oil and tru-oil with good results. Easy rub on finish. However I don't know of any finishing oil that I would do in a closed room, they smell some and are flammable, so is the rag you rub with.
