Looks a bit like a New Relic/Vintage
Stuff I like.
turned out not so bad...so far!

This time, I was done with the varnish
I sanded it, take oof a little bit more of the red color on the sides, whitch were not really looking good.

guess what?.... I went back to oil to just to...

When I saw that I could fix my problem with the varnish, using steel whool between coats, I decided to add a second one 2 days later.

of course, it happened again, but a little bit less this...

WazKelly, I tried to put some glitter mix with my oil on a spare timber.
that was a fail, the glitter I used may not be good, there was too much of it, you could barely see the red color with these...

So, here's what it looks like.

a little bit like a vintage/ F**ked up guitar paint. I always liked guitars with an old vintage look, but I never wanted to buy a "brand new scratch guitar" from a...

What I did today was putting a second coat of dye on the neck. I'll maybe buy some varnish with glitter to put on the neck and headstock for the finish. This will fix the dye.
