Ebony board, what kind of oil...?

[Surgeon]

Well, that's pretty much it...

What do you guys use to hydrate your ebony fretboards?

I use linseed with rosewood but I don't know what to use for ebony.

Thanks for the help...

I always heard lemon oil was good.

Lemon oil works well on ebony boards. I use it every couple of months.

Lemon oil for me, too. It's light and penetrates easy. .....Gee, that sounds almost dirty, doesn't it? LOL

This is the only thing I use on ebony and rosewood boards.

I've used non-pretroleum based bore oil with very good results-- tightens the wood grain and lasts for years with little or no reapplication.. use sparingly.
