Another Ukulele Project - Adding Finish To The Neck And Body

Just a very quick update on the Telecaster Ukulele project.  Over the past couple of nights I have been adding layers of Tru-Oil to the neck and body (including the fret board).  It will be some time before the bridge, tuners and pickup arrive so I cant really route the body yet.


I put on a thick layer originally and let it dry overnight,  then sanded it back with 400 grit sand paper, then added another thinner coat and let this dry overnight. last night I rubber the finish back with 0000 grade wire wool and added another thin layer.  i will keep doing this until I get a deep rich coat that shines.  Then i will let it thoroughly dry and buff to a nice glossy finish.
