I like the look of the true oil on the oak, I was out looking for some today without luck for my violin neck. It looks great on the your red oak guitar. How long before you can string it up?

That's kind of the point, no? What fun is life without a little laughter? And some sweet oak guitars too!

I will be letting it cure until Friday, then after levelling etc , should be ready to glue on the bridge, make the saddle and gi-de-up. So a week and half or so.
I'm very interested in how it will sound.

Hey Dave,
What "brand" of wood did you use for the top? Is there a certain type of wood that is best to use with oak or does it matter not?
