    I love how that has come up mate, i wouldn't change a thing with that colour effect. That is seriously spankworthy. Fantastic result.

    Looking great. Would suggest just using the Coolangatta Gold intensifier only as that will brighten everything up much better and saves having to muck around with the 2 different intensifiers.

    Cheers, Waz

    Don't change the colour, it's looking the goods right now. Just a bit more gloss to make it pop. Great stuff

    Thanks, I agree. It is a one off so to speak Here is a picture of how it looks with the neck attached (my son is holding it for me). It is not glued yet, thats next on the list.

    Question for you experienced folk, should I put a gloss coat on the binding?
