Waz's MMB-4

Yep I think that was a factor in the first ex finish fail, getting too heavy handed in the sanding. Easy to do though.

1st Tru Oil coat done after dinner tonight. Poor light in the garage and not such a good image.



Will take more shots in better light on the weekend after it has had a few more coats done.

Even though you mentioned 120 a few posts ago, I'll have a go at 80.

I will wait for a few more responses before giving the answer.

It was seriously silky smooth to touch on front & back.

On softer woods you do begin to wonder how far to go as the pile of saw dust on the floor begins to mount up.

4 coats of TO done so far and starting to show a bit of colour....

Thats going to look so nice Waz. Is it getting a pick guard or keeping all that lovely wood showing?

Hi Deddy, the kit comes with a white one which doesn't look too bad and I cut out some black card board and shaped one up to see the difference as I was tending to lean more towards a black one when the Minister for War & Finance declared that she liked this build the most of all 6 and definitely without a pick guard. She did say that if I was to do a pick guard her preference was white???

All nudey natural from here on seeing that I now have royal assent.

The funny thing is on each of the previous builds she has declared that one her latest favourite until the next one had been started. This all goes back to the Red J Bass. Mind you, she is not a fan of orange but convinced me to stick with it on the EX-5 build #1 as I was not so sure and about to sand it all off and start again.

She is starting to ask me how many more do I need and where are we going to put them so this one may be it for a while. Besides, I am spending so much time tinkering on builds that I never get to play any of them too often.
