Well I've started sanding back the finish to do it again. I've also decided given the effort I'm going putting in to get the finish I want on the body, that I'd use the time to do a couple things to the neck. There are a couple of chips on the fretboard that I'd been ignoring from the start and when I managed to dirty the fretboard by accident when I polished it and the accumulation beside the frets from the original tru oil finish....things escalated.



Frets and black dots out.



New paua dots in.

I've got a radius sanding block coming from Adam and I'll sand the fretboard and refret before finishing the neck with tinted lacquer.
