Favorite unfinished fretboard conditioner

[SpiderWars]

I'm building a couple of parts guitars with Rosewood and want to condition the fretboard. I still have 20-30 year old Lemon Oil and Bore Oil but want to do better.

In any case, check out this Tele neck I just got from Guitar Mill. Everyone seems to want dark Rosewood (me included) but I thought this one looked really cool with all the blonde streaks.

Good to know, this one was already high on the list.

Anybody tried Crimson?

I have had great luck with Howard's Cutting Board Oil that you can pick up at any Home Depot or Lowes. They also offer a 'butcher's block' conditioner that has a touch of beeswax mixed in that I use on the bodies of my unfinished guitars.

Birchwood Casey Gun stock wax.
The very Best.
On fretboard and back of unfinished maple neck. Incredible stuff.

Ernie Ball Music Man uses it?

That board seem to be Pau Ferro. I use raw linseed oil.

It does look a bit Pau Ferro like. I have a Strat with a Pau Ferro fretboard that actually looks more like Rosewood (very uniform, plain, dark grain). I like that neck a lot.
