Sprayed a couple of the offcuts today with acrylic clear to see if I like to colour or whether I'll add a bit of stain.

Here is the Yaka offcut (the lines are from when it was cut with the bandsaw, I didn't bother sanding it).



Here is the Tas Oak.



Now putting them side by side in the shade to see what they would look like at the join.



In sunlight.



And Yaka with maple neck. Trying to decide between maple fretboard and rosewood fretboard.



I'm also debating between chrome or gold hardware...
