So here is the neck after it's third coat of the OSMO oil. The color hasn't changed any further that I noticed - indicating that the wood is now probably saturated - ... of course a direct side to side comparison is pretty much impossible.
The test strip below is a piece of mahogany (the same strip is below the neck) that started out almost the same as the body. The ends just have 3 coats of the oil, the middle was stained with minwax red mahogany stain first ... the right end was a test how well as strip of painters tape would do in making a straight edge ... OK it turns out.
When applying the first coat of oil part of the stain rubs off - this is after the first coat - ... the rubout of the second coat still had some ... the third rubout has almost none indicating the stain - and thus the wood - is now sealed. I think this is pretty much what I'll do with the body.
