Raw Sycamore:
Yes - it's Osmo 3044 RAW. It is designed to try to retain the 'fresh sanded' look rather than darken as pretty much all woods do when dampened and/or clear finished. I've used it a number of times, but the first time I did so, @bennyg85 , was to do just that - to avoid the yellowing effect of most finishes when applied to light woods such as maple/sycamore/etc..
This is what happened when I applied a 'standard' clear finish. The fretboard is maple, the body is sycamore:
NOT at all what I was after.
This was with Osmo 3044 RAW:
And 6 years later, it still looks like this.
Co-incidentally, I've just applied a coat to a guitar that's getting a refin.
A little of it goes a long way ...
