    Surely you will not hide all that lovely Ash grain under a black stain?

    Also like the look of headstock shape too.

    So no black stain this time, Waz. Although he might just be saying that due to the heat, he plans to stain it whilst naked.

    Ahhh, missed that bit.

    Just saw all the black hardware and jumped to the wrong conclusion.

    I would like to point out that all the necessary protective gear would still be worn..and Simon NO ONE needs that image in their head.

    Does that include the safety flip-flops?

    I'm lucky that I can say things without doing all the full imagination stuff as well.

    No safety flip flops in my workshop, stout shoes only. as for the naked staining, well there may have to be some form of safety cover.
