In an attempt to use up some leftover parts, I ordered an S style body made of walnut. A combination of factors led me to finish it in wax-oil. Applied by hand, using a cloth. Took ten minutes.

It's certainly a nice piece of alder. So much so it's tempting to leave it natural because it takes on an almost honey color when sanding sealer is applied. Tru oil would be my choice as a finish and it would only make it more honey in color

Are there any photographs of the opaque white finish before you set about the relic job?

I remember that thread now. It really looked outstanding at that point. No offense to the more recent versions; I just think it really looked killer back then, to my aesthetic tastes. YMMV, of course.
