Mankind loves shiny objects. It always has. Even the earliest graves of cave men show they collected things like shiny shells. While there are those out there who like a more satin or perhaps a more 'natural' finish, I find that I like, and my customers (by and large) like, a smooth shiny instrument. So it is in this tradition that I have endeavored to create a shiny ukulele with Tru-Oil as I do not have, nor anticipate having, and sort of spray gear. I think I have been reasonably successful at creating a nice shiny finish.
I do not however follow the 'usual' Tru-Oil application methods but I can achieve a very shiny result, that is still very very thin.
The discussion is too big to fit comfortably here, so I have created a public PDF of my techniques at:
