First thing was to make that great looking grain really pop. I generally followed HoundDog's Tru-Oil method. You can read about that on the Reranch Forums. Basically, I used a slightly damp cloth on the neck to 'raise' the grain, then sanded with 400 grit paper. The grain will feel 'fuzzy' and that's what you sand off. I did that 3 or 4 times until there was no more fuzz.
Stained two coats of Stew-Mac Neck Amber water-based stain, then I mixed up a combination of neck amber and a few drops of Medium Brown stain. The straight amber was a little too yellow for my taste.
