Greetings and Salutations. I am an amateur builder (can't call myself a luthier, yet) from Lancaster, Pa.
Currently, I am building a fretless 4-string. It is a maple/cherry neckthrough with a persimmon fretboard. I am planning on using Tung oil as a finish, but my question is, what should I finish the persimmon with?

Cheers and thanks for allowing me to join.

Nothing. It's basically the American ebony.

Thanks much. I'll sand it down to 0000 steel wool to get a nice sheen.
