Thank you stan its my first attempt without the spray gun.
Hey Wokks, binding set up is just a hand held router buddy, cutter has a bearing on the end to follow the bodies contore.
Oh and yes bro this is ash body. Ive got fricken kits everywhere at the mo
sweet Jarrod so this is a rag on stain burst, you have nailed it, what stain colours have you used ?
Red mahogany , cherry red , and lemon yellow and yes ragged on with alcohol spray to rub blend in.

Nice work Jarrod - you've really nailed the "poor man's burst" with dyes. Looks superb. Gotta say I love the pearl binding as well! Nice one!
cheers,
Gav.

Oh yes, this one is for a client who is picking it up in a month so I thought I better crack on with it.
