Hi mate, just read through your thread, awesome progress and great neck colour. Hey a light golden colour would look good with the ebony neck. Btw great grain pattern on the body top.Quote:

I think the clear will give it a wet look which will really bring out the spalt and subtle flame.
If it looks a little darker than this pic, then I will be very happy

Wow...just wow. You really scored there. Not only is the spalt awesome you have the flame as well!!! I'm only a bit jealous!
You can see now why I decided to go with the clear finish! I didn't want to hide any of that behind a colour!Quote:

There's a picture on the last page of an Acoustic with the effect I'm trying to get.
I picked up a very cheap Airbrush kit from Supercheap last night. Hopefully that will be a workable solution.
What an awesome looking veneer, good score. Spalt and flame! I think your natural finishing plans will work well.
Thanks Mate, most appreciated. Really looking forward to getting into the next stage of the build.Quote:
