I oil all my rosewood and ebony fretboards. On new construction necks, I wipe em down with teak oil to give them a nice sheen. Then they typically need a light oiling ( with mineral oil) every year or so.

Hey thanks. Does Teak darken at all? The 1 I choose is kinda lite in pigment.Choose it cause U can see much more grain. But may want to darken it just a little.

Any type of oil will darken the board up some. Typically, my RW fretboards are a reddish brown color as raw wood, but after I finish sand them and apply teak oil, they are a dark brown color.
