Yeah I gotta say Wokka, the combination of your two chosen colours is perfect. The hot auburn really looks great without taking the eye away from the amaranthine. Fantastic. Would be great if you could catch the silver highlights in a photo. I'm interested in what they look like at the right angle.
cheers,
Gav.
no worries Gav I'll try and get a photo in natural light when I get home from work, I think silver highlights was a good choice
@ Gav T.
I took some photos in direct sunlight trying to show the silver highlights but they don't show that clearly in a photo, but trust me in person they are very visible in sunlight at the right angle.

@Wokka: thanks for trying dude - ill have to take your word for it. Must be a nice and subtle effect. Very cool :)
Cheers,
Gav.
yes Gav the highlights are quite subtle but seen from the correct angle gives a great effect. I thoroughly recommend highlights. Bit of wudtone promotion may get me out of the naughty corner !
got 4th coat of gloss on, thinking only need 1 or 2 more coats then some curing time

Very nice Wok's, we should put this one on the buffer!
cheers Gav might take you up on that offer, will see when you are free, I'm on 2 weeks leave from 20/12. Any excuse for a trip to the mega man cave !
finally got the neck glued this morning, time to get a hurry up on current projects so I can start the 2 new ones. The neck alignment and fit was pretty good. With any luck I'll get onto soldering the wiring tonight and final setup over the weekend.
Gavmiester I probably won't have time to get out to your man cave to use the buffer before xmas but maybe a visit after if you are on holidays.
I've got a drill operated buffing pad I'll use and a bit of hand polishing.

It must be the light, but it really doesn't look purple anymore in these pics.
Hey Pablo,
all good mate its the light, its still purple !
Just love those flamed tops - Woks - you must be buying Amaranthine in litre containers mate!
haha yes Brendan, when ama was released I bought 2 kits and its just about finished now ! When a Freo Docker fan gets an opportunity to build a purple axe I did ask DB if it was available in keg size !Quote:

Woks - just love the paler version of the Amaranthine. Seems a stunning colour. Nice job mate.
