What kind of oil did you use on the neck to get the flame to pop like that?

 

[XSSIVE]

A big part of it is of course the quality of the wood but also the sanding before oil, during oil and after oiling. As for the actual finish, that's my secret sauce, my 11 herbs and spices, my 2 oils and a wax that after years of trying different things is going to be my selfishly proprietary secret.

The neck blank for this neck was extremely impressive in raw form as all the roasted flame and birdseye I use is, so it's not like it needed much help if I'm honest about it. You can't make a sub par figure magically look impressive, There's no making 3A look like 5A with finish, but when you start out with something high quality it makes the work easier.

The one on the left became DA.075s neck and fretboard...
