It was a while ago, but I sanded the veneer a bit before staining, probably with 180. Which is probably what I used for subsequent sanding.

I only did about 3 coats of the “BLO” mix, because it seemed to not really be working that well, and was taking a couple of days to stop feeling tacky. So I just pivoted to a poly/turps mix. All up,...

Ready for building now, I guess.
So nice. It is such an ergonomic shape (as advertised). Set up was very pain free, and I was straight away working through my primitive repertoire with ease. Can’t wait to get it wired up to hear how...
Ha! Yeah, I love my triangles. A heavy feature of my tattoos over the same period as well :)
I’m probably going to go with a solid colour for the back, as the okoume is not that pretty.
That’s got to be pretty damn close to expectations. Awesome.
Ooh, I’ve had my eye on the Walrus Oil for a while. Keen to see how that goes for you.
In terms of prep, as long as you’ve got a pretty even feel, then just make sure it’s free of sawdust. A wipe...
Barring a string tree and wiring it up, this is essentially done. Initial set up was straightforward. Will let it settle and then tweak.

I’ll take those Wilkinsons off your hands if they’re not already claimed.
… but it’s coming along very quickly…

Yep, that’s the one I’m considering.
That’s insane. Nice work,Trev.
Sounds lovely. Those Bensons do a great job.
That’s all come together really nicely. Congrats [emoji322]
Nice! Welcome.
So good to have spraying weather again finally. We’ve had a couple of false promises recently.
In the top picture you can kinda see where I’m thinking of placing controls, mounted on a half scratch plate. I’m thinking either a 3-way toggle plus volume, or just a single volume with push pull to...
This hunk of pine is not being nice to my tools at all (sticky, knotty), so I’m leaving this as the St Kaizen prototype. Pretty happy with it so far though. I think I can go even more extreme on the...
Probably a hardtail, but also considering a half-ashtray.

Still figuring out things, but it’s coming together.

I’m barely walking, and you want me to fly? [emoji38]
(I am thinking about 7-string options in the future though)
Why finish one project when you could start another?
Working on something definitely inspired by the St Vincent, and maybe subconsciously inspired by a Kaizen.
Prototyping with a pine version...
Looks very cool. I’d be happy with that.
But more importantly, what’s that art in the background?!! I can’t work out if it’s Sam Keith, or Vaughan Bode, or something entirely different…
