I took another look... and now I am not as sure with mine. I think it may have a veneer after all...but I also think the the wood under your cap,...

I think you should! Given your travails with they-who-shall-not-be-named, there may not be a lot of recurring opportunities. That was a part of my...

I know that TD sprays his on. Is that how you apply it as well. Looking for something I can wipe or brush on indoors... I like the sound of it,...

looks the business! I've personally got about ten projects in my queue .. but I could probably build one of these I reckon :D

Love to see it!

FYI I used Cabots on my favorite spalted maple bass, and it was good in a couple of days! I pretty much use exclusively water-based paints and...

here's a pic into the pocket, the "top" timber is noticeably darker than the Mahogany body but doesn't show quite as dark in the pic and it has a...

I took another look at mine, and it's possible that the mine is like your but without the veneer. If so, then your mystery wood is mahogany. It turns...

Looking forward to seeing it. I think I understand what TLO is. So far pretty much every one I have done is the TPO (the penultimate one). No one...

I was searching for something completely different when I surfed past this: "Remove the neck soldering iron heating copper rood guitar handle...

The pup should be able to lowered so as to go almost as low as the deck. But, you may need to get a smaller pup surround (like the neck pup...

Looks like Levers in Wollongong could be the go so I'll go and see them tomorrow

Thanks. Haven't heard from Mick for a while, but I know he does it right. Mixing flakes probably gives you some control over consistency? I am one...

Probably will take a whack at the bottom of the bridge with emery cloth. If it comes to pulling posts and the size is compatible, I may take you up...

Thanks to you both. I am afraid something is still going to have to be done with the neck. If I drop the bridge very much, it is going to put the...

That looks the goods. No.7 has a book matched quilted maple veneer over a carved section of unknown wood over the mahogany which makes up the bulk...

I'm using Cabot's Clear Water Based Polyurethane. But, I'm not sure where I got this from! The spec sheet does not mention curing time.

That's intersting. My water based poly says it needs at least 3 weeks (General Finishes High Performance). Curious what you are using?

I will leave it about a week. I find this has been long enough for water-based poly. Folks using Oil-based poly leave it for a few (3-4) weeks to...

Assuming that the neck joint is not too badly damaged... I agree with TD FWIW. It may take some combination of approaches. You may also be able to...

looking good. How long to you leave it to cure?

Sounds nice, and 4 days is excellent! I was impressed with mine getting to me in 2 days - though the warehouse is only about 20 km away!
