Thats such a minimal looking finish but with the figuring in the wood grain it pops so much. Very pretty, you should be immensely proud of that effort Hugh.

Thanks FrankenWashie, I was just lucky I got a nice piece of timber.... I'm looking forward to seeing how it will look with the finishing coat applied.Quote:

First layer of finish on the neck, looks pretty good I reckon.
About wednesday or thursday I will put the first layer of finish on the main body of the guitar.. really looking forward to seeing how that turns out!!
Yes, that is one nice looking neck!

Can or Should I steel wool the neck between coats of the finishing layers?
Also what about steel wool between layers of the finish coat on the main body?
Hi Hugh, can't hurt to do a light fine steel wool between clear coats.
Build is coming along nicely. It's not too late to put a shape in the headstock would really personalise the build
Thanks Wokkaboy, I think I will give it a light rub between coats.
I also think I might shape the head stock a little too!
By the way, what's the best way to shape the headstock guys??
Jigsaw or coping saw??
Jig saw is faster, but then you will have to sand and refinish..
Thanks DingoBass..
