DLP Les Paul Prototype - 22 - Fingerboard Profile Finished

Today I finished off the fingerboard profile and sanded the fingerboard smooth down to 1500 wet and dry sand paper.  I want to actually apply a thin finish to the fingerboard to protect and strengthen the surface.


My chosen finish will be Tru-Oil gun stock finish, however before I apply the Tru-Oil I have applied 2 coats of sanding sealer allowing an hours to pass between coats and lightly sanding with 400 grit.


 Before applying the Tru-Oil I will smooth with 0000 wire wool.  Hopefully this will also fill the exposed wood worm holes as well!
