steel wool and lemon oil

This fingerboard looks like it's never been cleaned.

VERY icky..... so, 0000 grade steel wool to the rescue......

then a polish with lemon oil

now that's a LOT better....... frets are all shiny now too!

and the crack that needs filled, a quick scrape with a blade to make a decent groove to fill.....

then get it filled.....

once this is dry I'll flip it and fill the back, then it'll be time to get the sander out......
