Sounds like a good plan!Quote:

There was a fair bit of glue on mine, and while I sanded it like a bastard, the stains did not take the way I would have liked.
There is a very skilled craftsman on this site, who had a similar problem with a tele build, and he utilised a method of 'tattooing' the timber to get the stain to take in an even fashion.
I didn't get around to bolting stuff on this weekend.. but soon :)
This is the finish it gets to keep.
