RE: Sinensis Camelia Oil (in reply to gounaro)

I use camelia oil more often on my chisels and Japanese plane blades :). There is no need to use lots of oil on fingerboards. In fact, our finger oils already provide some, just in the course of regular use. If you have some very fine steelwool or synthetic pad (not too abrasive!) you can add a few drops and clean the fingerboard when changing strings. Then, wipe any excess oil with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Fingerboards generally do net need "feeding". This is more of a cleaning/detailing procedure in my mind.
