ordered my kit on Monday....taking months to get here :P
original idea was Azure Lagoon in a burst with lighter and darker of the AL. Spoke with Andy from Wudtone about how to do that. Ordered...
still hasn't arrived....progress on the build is slow!
Just kidding!
Went out and bought lots of gloves, a bag of 0000 steel wool, some 400-600 sandpaper ( for binding ) and have been scouring...
I hear that sanding is important in some fashion?
What's really scary is that I ordered my Wudtone from BYO Guitars at the same time, and they are about 20 miles from me. I might get the kit before I get the stain!
It will arrive in the states sometime in October, be stuck in customs for twelve weeks in Oregon. At that time it will be transferred to Arizona or New Mexico for distribution, despached ( note the...

brilliant! Thanks. It made no sense to me that you would stain the fretboard, but in the Wudtone neck instructions is does say in one place to put it on the fretboard. Thus my confusion!
so the neck gets glued in BEFORE putting top coats on the body?
Every time I look, I get 7 more questions...."Dave, my mind is going, I can feel it".
two questions:
1. how to remove neck finish from fretboard edge if you don't mask it ( as shown in the video )?
2. what to use on the fretboard Axe Wax or wudtone colorless ( if so, how much?...
