Plan on oiling some necks - which oil?

[MotoSolo]

They do use Gunstock oil/tru oil, and I don't know that it comes in any other tint. If you were going to use a tinted oil, the Watco Golden Oak is what Mike recommended to me once.

I'll be trying that on one neck I've got.

My understanding is Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil.

And absolutely this on another! A luthier friend of mine also recommended this exact brand.

i know its probably wrong but i used coffee to tint a neck, followed by a finishing oil. came out suprisingly well. rag dipped in coffee, apply quickly, then oil and wipe it off, and repeat as needed. I think i did 3 or 4 coats and it looked really nice. the rag with coffee wasnt really wet more like damp. home depot has tinted oils, IIRC they had amber and honey amber, i just got the natural stuff.

And I've gotta try this sometime. I've used coffee to dye cloth before, and once as a wood stain for a small woodworking project. Great idea dude!

I picked up some beeswax and some Tru-Oil and wax. I'll likely try the Tru-Oil first.
