Thanks Keith

I have just given it a couple of coats of cheap spray varnish I bought from a pound shop.

TBH I am hopeless at doing the finish I always feel that I have spoilt the work afterwards.

I am very open to suggestions as to the best way to finish fretwork.

Scrimper.

Lemon oil is the easiest followed by Tung Nut oil, I use both.

Lemon has the viscosity of water, Tung oil has the viscosity of light machine oil, so the Lemon is very easy to get into all intricate cuts, but Tung oil is food and toy safe, bearing in mind, nut allergy.

Both above available from Axminster and Tool Station.
