Maple parquet floor sample marked up. Can’t wait for the wooed bits to get here from Pitbull
Some progress but without the kit yet. Headstock extension but may still go with stock kit and sell RIC tuners and a little practice with oil paint on some ash veneer.

Is the veneer buckling under the moister? Or is it looking that three dimensional?
Also, great work on the headstock expansion. Not sure why the kit comes with such a minimized headstock.
It’s just a test on a bit of ash veneer
Just read your question again, the veneer is a bit wavy but it does look like that if a little greenish
It takes 4 days to the UK from Oz then 8 days to be released from UK customs but will be here tomorrow. Looking forward to the build and some mega fail pics for everyone 😊
Hope you're happy with it when you get it. If the neck fit in the pocket is quite tight, just wait a few days. The changes of temp and humidity associated with air cargo travel make the wood either shrink or swell, but it sorts itself out over a few days in a stable temperature.
Yes Simon, neck is very tight. Will have to move it outwards too as RIC bridge placement requires extra 10-12mm forward towards neck as well as end of neck being almost level with body.. lots of routing to do and then there’s the headstock extension. #anxiousamateurluthier
