NECK STAIN
Working on matching the stain on the neck to the body. This wood has been stubborn in ways I was not expecting. Pretty hard to get the wood to accept the stain!
But I beat it into submission! Sorta. I sanded back, even applied a wood prep for water based stain.
Still not super excited with the results on the headstock, but I'm digging the back of the neck.
And as my awesome girlfriend pointed out - i"m loving doing all of this... so yeah, sometimes I'm annoyed, but still having fun. And I'm stoked to have found this forum with so many people enthusiastic about their builds and willing to share their knowledge. I'm a big lurker, and constantly inspired by the stuff I see you all are doing!
HERE'S MY NECK STAIN:
ANOTHER PIC:
ALSO... as a weird side bar--
I had some left over maple veneer so I decided to make some wooden picks.
The HOW TO was simple -- I glued 3 pieces of veneer cross grain. Sanded and shaped.
WORK IN PROGRESS:
Just a fun little side project and thought I'd share. I tried one out at practice tonight and it worked great.
