Rosewood fretboard?

[Cranium]

What do you guys use on your rosewood fretboards to make them smooth? (Oil of some type I assume) also could you post all the needed tools and and steps please?

Steel wool on the frets and some Dunlop ´65 Lemon Oil. Works wonders.

Can these be bought at hardware stores or musical stores? After I apply the oil to the neck, I rub it around a little and wait till it dries up and do I have to do anything after?

And how do you use the steel wool on the frets?

 

[SuperSwede]

Buy the finest steel wool you can find, and then gently polish the frets until they are nice and shiny (only the frets, avoid the fretboard).
Dunlop ´65 can be bought in most music stores. Spray on the fretboard, let it soak for a while and then wipe off any excess oil. Then let the guitar dry for a day or at least a couple of hours.

Olive oil will do the trick too.

Home Depot has .0000 fine steel wool and is super cheap. I recommend using the steel wool on the frets every other time you do a string change. It keeps 'em in tip-top shape and smooth as silk.
