Finishing the end grain of the neck heel
I was thinking about this recently - it's unlikely that even with a good neck set the heel is perfectly sealed against the sides. Air and moisture can get in and affect the neck.
I know guilds finish the neck/body joint, but that makes for difficult finish issues during neck resets.
Does anyone finish this end grain on the heel? I guess it can only be done once everything is in place and neck geometry is finalized, but better late than never.
