HB4S and the build begins
Man, nothing would have prepared me for the way the HB4S top absorbed the true oil, as per several sites I have viewed I literally poured it on and poured it on until I had enough material to work with. I live in a very hot climate so it was trying to dry as quickly as I was applying it, looks nice and even now, lots of rubbing and elbow grease. I used the Vernier and internal ball gauge to work out how much and where to remove material in the neck pocket then when I had a very tight interference fit I glued and clamped the neck. All good so far. Everything sanded to 600 before oiling

after three coats of oil.
It is getting better each application. very much like Karate Kid, oil on sand off. After three coats it is getting better. I am thinking it will probably take about 10 with sanding in between.
