I wish I could remember the name of the stuff, but I saw a guitar that had been finished with gunstock oil. It was lovely! Sealed up watertight, brought out the grain very nicely, and there was no worry about a thick finish dulling the natural tone of the guitar. No, it wasn't sticky at all. Looked, and felt, like it had been waxed and buffed.


Tru-Oil perhaps? It's good to hear another positive experience on it! That's been my "aim" since finding out the Tung has the tackiness. I will have to go on a "hunt" for it after Christmas.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
