Day 57 AM

Used 3M Finesse It on top and head plate. It removes the wiping streaks. 

Then went over all surfaces with lemon oil. 

Reamed and installed tuners. 

Day 56

Final glaze coat. No pics. Now let it cure for 2 weeks

Day 55

Thinned the TO with mineral spirits 50/50

Poured some on the paper towel and went over all surfaces. Just to make it wet. A real quick "once over". No need to re-wipe with dry towel. It looked good. 

Day 54

10th coat of TO

No pics. 

Day 53

9th coat of TO

Day 52

Did the 8th coat of TO. No pics. 

Also did a test piece of mahogany. 

A couple coats of TO

Gray scotchbrite 

Grain filled. Didn't sand. Just wiped most off. Let dry overnight and went over it with wet paper towel. Then another coat of TO

Looked ok. It filled some of the grain. If I do a couple more filling sessions it probably would have completely filled the pores.  So it's an option in the future, but I'm leaving this one with open pores. 

Day 51

Scuffed all tru-oiled surfaces with gray scotchbrite.
