Yeah this will be really classy axe with the less is more approach. The P90's will be an awesome contrast to the tobacco burst.
I got a TL-1 in the anniversary sale and I'm wanting to put a p90 in the neck position so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the Entwistles when she's all up and running :-) !
looking good the shaping mods Gav, some pretty serious ash grain there will mega pop once the timbermate is on. What colour you going walnut ?
Very nice cuts Gav, this is going to look awesome!
very smooth, another Fires Creek killer axe coming up...
@crundes, @wokks, @andrew & @stan - thanks for the kind words guys. I hope I can do this piece of timber justice. @woks - yeah dude, it'll be walnut Timbermate for this one. Should look great with the browns of the tobacco burst.
cheers,
Gav.
Hey guys,
Another quick update before I jet off OS again for work tomorrow :(. I got the body filled with Walnut Timbermate yesterday and stained with a tobacco burst - Amber, Red Mahogany and Tobacco Colortone. I'm pretty happy with how it looks. I was contemplating some black on the very edge but decided not to risk it. Today I got two coats of tru-oil over the top to seal up the pores prior to clear coating. I'm really liking how this is coming along.
cheers,
Gav.
nice one Gav that looks excellent. Nice blend. I would have darkened the edges more but thats personal preference. Looks great. Lots of time for it to cure now while you are away
Thanks Wokks :). Yeah I thought long and hard about darker edges. I'm a bit scared of the black colortone I think ;). Next time definitely!
cheers,
Gav.
all good bro, if it ends up being too dark for your liking you can sand it off anyway !
should look great when its finished, this has a black pickguard right ? does it come with chrome hardware ?
EDIT I just went back to page 1 and saw its got a black pickguard and chrome Bigsby, should look unreal !
Almost Wokks, I changed the pickguard to white - Pabs made me a special one for cream P90s. I might consider asking Pabs to cut me a black one too to see what the difference is. Hmm decisions :).
cheers,
Gav.
