Thanks Brendan for the idea of using a clamp to hang the set neck body !

got a hole in the back plugged and glued with the same wood, when I was drilling the bridge bush hole through the sap area the drill sunk like a hot knife in butter. I'll sand that flat tonight and give the back another coat.
Got a coat of hot auburn on the top and sides and happy how the hot auburn is a bit browner/mahogany coloured than the cherry flamenco

here's 2 more angles. The neck as usual doesn't take the wudtone colour as well as the body but I'll keep steel wooling between coats and putting on more hot auburn coats

The way the grain is popping on that is amazing. It's hard to remember what you started with.
I reckon it will look hot and cool when it's finished.
cheers Lozza, if you go back to page one of this post it shows the body blank after it was glued and bandsawed into its rough shape
Looking great Wokks - it's gunna be a stunner!
got 2 more coats of hot auburn on the weekend and was happy with the colour so got 1st coat of clear on. This non pitbull gear section has really taken off !

only a small update but I needed a truss rod cover so made one from leftover camphor veneer, it should suit the body grain. Need to find a smaller screw head ! Haven't got any recent body pics but its had 4 coats of clear, so almost ready for wet sanding and thinned clear to go on.
