My Engelhardt Jatoba tailpiece just came in. It looks pretty nice. I went ahead and added a coat of boiled linseed oil hopin' it would darkin' it up so it would match my fingerboard.
I don't think the linseed oil is gonna do it. It made it just slightly darker. But I don't think even adding more coats it will come close.
So I was wonderin' what should I do now to add a stain? Will I need to try and re sand it to stain? Walmart has a minwax stain that looks like it will probably work.
I'm not too smart on doin' finishes so just wonderin' for some advice or tips here.
