Hi Chris.

Nope; no stain.

I have finished this instrument with a few coats of Rustins Danish Oil, which is essentially colourless, but the fingerboard has had only a quick rub with "Lemoil" brand lemon oil..

Perhaps, if there is a slight colour cast, it is from the lights that I used when taking the photographs.

Frank.
