I'm having a Takei moment... "Oh myyyyy..."
grain is popping nicely BG, is this a 3rd coat or you run a wet rag over it ?
Either way its going to look fantastic with blue and green Dingotone over it
Oh my indeed
Looking great BG! You could just leave it like this and have an amazing build. I am looking forward to seeing your next steps!
cheers,
Gav.
Nooo I'm really keen to see PBG's first dragon burst!
Second coat and completely dry. Hence the Takei reaction.Quote:

Before I cut the headstock shape I will plane both the rear and face of the headstock, particularly as we'll need a flat surface for the veneer.
looking great BG, coming along nicely, can't wait to see the headstock cut and re-drilled tuner holes. What veneer you putting on it again, you get something from Bman ?
Brendan gave me a lovely sheet of maple veneer, which I will whack on once ready. Sadly the grain of it may have to run vertical as I think the headstock will be juuuuuuuuuuust a fraction too large.
so you haven't got enough veneer to run the grain parallel with the tuners/top edge?
should look fine running vertical wouldn't worry too much
