So let's see what I have to deal with on the flame top.. Sanded body upto 400 grit, very lightly on the top then wirewooled the binding.
The plan is to pop flame with red mahogany colortone, sand back, then burst yellow, red then mahogany / black mix around the edge. Side, back and neck red colortone mixed with mahogany (keep on the darker side) then black on the face of headstock, all with lashings of tru oil.
Flame popper applied to top without incident apart from 2x nasty glue spots, time for some serious wire brushing once dry. There are some other faint glue areas but these will come out when I sand back the top.
