So, now I got several rosewood pieces;
-the fretboards of my guitars, AND-
-a very beautiful, hand carved smoking pipe. I think it's rosewood, atleast it's a slightly porous, dark brown open pore wood. That looks like rosewood.
Now, the pipe was all dried up when I got it; so I applied several coats of a natural tar/lindseed oil mixture I got in a tin. Also used this for my Epi's fretboard. The tar/oil mixture is rather fine, though it's maybe not what I'm looking for.
I noticed, that while my Peavey's fretboard is "smooth" and has no open pores; the Epi's board has pores that is filled up with grey/black gunk;
-and it also gets very "gunky" quick. Is there something that would "seal" the pores, and maybe keep the gunk from sticking so easily?
Regarding the pipe- I want to finish it with a natural oil/laquer , while also being able to polish to the highest shine possible. (with some fine sanding cloth or such)
Any tips on which product to apply; - and how to do it? General 2 cents?
thanks!
