Sanding an acoustic neck

I sand down the necks on my basses and refinish them with boiled linseed oil.  I love the feel and I play a little faster because of it.  A friend of mine picked up one of my basses to fool around on it and flipped out how good the neck felt on it.  He asked me if it could be done to his acoustic.  Not sure so I'm asking you guys.  Has anyone done it?  Should it be done?
