I bought some Odie's Oil on your recommendation, directly from their website. They even threw in a non-abrasive pad that I chopped a piece out of just large enough to apply just the couple of coats I needed for an all-maple neck. It feels absolutely glassy-smooth, yet with a little tactile satin-y grip. For anyone who is thinking about building a kit or partscaster, this is the way to go so you don't have to spray-gloss a neck. And yes, it's like $50 USD for a jar, but it only takes a comically-small amount of oil to finish a neck.

Great work there Brad! A while ago I finished my first cigar box guitar. The neck and fretboard were made from white oak and being a cheapskate, the dye I used for the fretboard was liquid shoe polish :-D It covered nice and evenly, the colour is great and it seems to be holding up well. Look forward to you playing your new acoustic. I think you're going to love it!

@tetanusforbreakfast3500 roasted maple is really tight. If it’s sealed the dye won’t soak in. If it’s not you should be able to dye it. You could also throw a thinned down coat of black lacquer on it to really darken it up.
