I recently bought a set of these for my Dean Hardtail: (the pics don't do justice to the grain on the rings)
Flame Maple Rings
Since the Hardtail has a high gloss finish, my first thought was to use a wipe on poly to build up 3-4 high gloss coats. However, the luthier who made them suggested a tung oil finish. I can do either, and the surface prep is already done. These rings are sanded down to 800 grit and ready to finish.
Which do you think will look better? The tung oil will have more of a matt look vs the poly.
