Well, I have gotten started on my 2nd build an IB-1. Finally finished the surface prep, doing a transparent finish so spent a lot of time sanding end grain (I love sanding, yay) and it is all ready to start the staining process.
Popping the grain with a coat of black.
More Sanding.......huzzah
Time to get a little colour into it.
So far so good, I think another coat of green to bring it up a little more and I will get to staining the back and sides. Going with green for them too, might add a little black to get them a little darker than the top though. Anyway that's it for now, I'll catch you all later.

So, made a little more progress. The photo doesn't do the colour justice, it is more emerald green than it appears in the photo.
Got the back and sides stained.
Scraped the top of the binding and hit it with a coat of sanding sealer.
More updates to come but for now it is time to watch sealer dry, take it easy everyone.
