Three string CBG. Stick is white oak. Fret board is red oak. Staples for the nut, nails for frets, eye bolts for the tuners. Been using wipe on poly for my necks lately. Seems to work nice. I also used standard poly on the box. Was worried about loosing some sound but didn't seem to. Sounds nice.

Glen... Its a cool way of fretting. But its alot of extra work. This will be the last nail fret job I do. A little advice... try and make the slots for the nails as even in depth as possible. Then sand the hell out of them after you attach them. Also make little gouges in the glued side of the nails so they hold the glue better. :-)
