Looking good so far.
Too much grain for basswood and probably Alder or more likely Paulownia as per these body samples found on the web...
Paulownia is supposed to be a very softwood and that may also explain why it is much lighter in weight too.

It "fluffs up" quite a bit by that i mean that even though it's ridicilously smooth sanded to 600 gritt after applyibg tye watery stain to it some of the wood fibers stand up so now it has a rough feel again.Originally Posted by wazkelly

Great colour Joe, you can always go back over the edges and redo the darker areas of the burst, I normally do all the burst at the same time then you can blend the colours as you go
