You can't even buy gun stock oil out of state. If anyone doesn't know what that is, it is this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-True-Oil-Finish-8-Ounce/dp/B0000C5398/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=tru+oil&qid=1563154527&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-1
It's literally a finish for wood. If you live in California, you can't even buy it online and have it shipped to another state if your billing address is in California. This is what LIberals refer to as smart gun laws.
I did use curly maple along with a TransFast Water-Soluble Powder Dye Stain (COLONIAL MAPLE #3277) finished with Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil. Here is a link to the dye http://www.ebay.com/itm/TransFast-Water-Soluble-Dye-1-oz-container-COLONIAL-MAPLE-3277-/261665978437?pt=Paint_Paint_Supplies&hash=item3cec81f845 and for the tru-oil http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C5398/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have read a lot of good about Tru-Oil on other bow making forums. I am going to try it on my next bow and see how it does.
Not at all, here is the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-True-Oil-Finish-8-Ounce/dp/B0000C5398/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1540795534&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=tru+oil+gunstock+finish&dpPl=1&dpID=31bsl%2B1DQPL&ref=plSrch
I bought mine off of eBay, I didn’t realize before I got the oil that it is apparently illegal to sell it in my state, so how I was actually able to get a hold of it, I have no idea.
Any relation to Dane? JK. My brother and I made a gourd banjo last year. Your kit looks pretty straightforward. The only special tools we needed were a reamer and peg shaper, but I guess you won't. I don't think having removable glue is any advantage. If you break a piece, you can remove it with wood cutting tools. One tip on finishing though, apparently TRU-OIL is a popular finish for banjos. I used it for the first time on that project and I love it. Having worked with many wood finishes, it's now one of my favorites for ease of application, appearance, durability and ease of repair of scuffs and scratches. It's got linseed oil in it, but it actually builds up a clear coating like varnish after successive coats. I reccomend it highly. That or maybe Minwax wipe on poly. Shellac is probably the traditional finish, but if you haven't worked with it before it can be tricky to get good looking results.
Gourd banjo.
Tru-Oil.
Wipe on poly. With any of those finishes, use #0000 steel wool between coats to get it glass smooth.
I've used Tru Oil on many necks. It is a great finish IMO. Easy to work with. Produces a very slick feel. I got a bottle of this some years ago and it has lasted quite a few projects.
The only downside is that it can be a bit labor intensive - especially if you want to get that mirror type shine. Subsequent coats stack on top of one another, whereas other finishes like Lacquer tend to burn into one another. So you should take your time with each coat. Try to get a uniform thickness. Spend some time sanding between each coat, using progressively finer grits as you move up. 5 to 10 coats would be minimal and produce a more dull finish. To get more of a gloss you need a lot of coats and a lot of patient high grit sanding.
Gun stock oil.
You don't need to buy the exact same kit. Their fingerborad oil is just their own mix of Tru-oil, which should be a lot easier to find and cost less. You can also use Linseed oil, which works just as well.
As for cleaning, just use an old toothbrush with some warm water to lightly scrub the fingerboard. You can even use a small amount of a mild de-greaser like Windex, Simple Green. Wipe away the warm water/cleaner with a clean rag or paper towel. Once clean, let it dry for about 10-20 minutes, apply a drop of Tru-oil to each fret, rub it in thoroughly let it sit for another 10-20 minutes, then wipe away any excess.
