Michael/Saxismyaxe replied to Mister Scott's discussion Favorite method of wood finishing?
"As far as neck finishes go, I prefer Birchwood Casey's TRU OIL, a gun stock clear finish, for my necks. It provides a nice satin "French polish" like finish which I prefer, and is pretty much fool proof to apply."

"Great looking guit. I really like the box. The black headstock is cool, too. What did you do there? The tuners look like they're from Darren at Back Porch Mojo, who, by the way, is a real pleasure to do business with. He ships fast, and if…"

"Kluson/Gibson style to be exact, save for the design of the screw attachement holes. "

"I believe that they are a sort of Gibson repro sealed tuner. The knobs are plastic. "

Welcome aboard, Michael! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

Up in the Free Resources menu at the top, you will see a number of plans for building and playing cigar box guitars/ukuleles/banjos/dulcimers/violins. I encourage you to download any of the plans, take a look at them, and ask questions from there. Also our site is VERY searchable. I bet you your questions have already been asked, so take a few moments and look around.

Join our Chat sometime (see the bar at the bottom of your browser page). Keep in mind that tho the chat window says there are X number of people online, not all may have the chat window up.

Most of all, have fun!

-Wes
