I think Tung Oil (several coats of) followed up by a bee's wax or similar.
Luke Sheridan did that with his Bastoigne Fretless project. Looked damn nice.

I particularly like the sharp, crisp contouring.
Also the side shot to see how you glued the body wings at an angle to the neck blank. How, exactly, do you make the bridge area flat once again? |
