Applying the finish

It's some time ago that I wrote my last entry.
Since then I fitted the fingerboard (from a rarker piece of te same wood as the back of the instrument).
Finishing up - removing little dents and scratches - takes some time as well.
To harden the surface of the wood I've applied 1 layer of egg-white. Of course after this the woodfibres have swollen and the surface had to be smoothed (grinding paper # 600).
Today I applied the first layer of 'Danish Oil'. This is a product of Rustin's based on tung oil.
