Finishing a Rosewood neck and body advice

paulnb57

Got an all Rosewood Strat project on the go and am turning thoughts toward finish.....would prefer to leave it unfinished, but the thread elsewhere about a soilid Rosewood body cracking/coming unglued has me worried!....
Preferably an oil finish...
Tru Oil?
Tung Oil?

or Shellac?

Any experience, opinions ideas?

Cheers!

Body is not ready/here yet, but I will share the assembly of the joker....

Truoil and their wax will look great I reckon. Far nicer than raw

I just got a rosewood neck from Graham and am planning to do a few coats of Tru oil, also what he recommends. He shared this pic which was 3 coats -

Thanks for that, it looks superb! Spookily I just ordered a bottle of Tru Oil!
