Default Finishing the Fretboard

Tim has officially strung up the guitar today!

First, finishing the fretboard. Again, this is an African Blackwood fretboard, so you'll notice that it has that characteristic deep chocolate brown color.


Covering the fretboard with chalk. This helps show any low areas as he does a final sanding to even it out.









After the first sanding.





Cleaning the wood dust out of the fret grooves.






Prepared for frets!
