Hey Muzza, bummer about the veneers. First I heard bad things about the supplier.
Love the set neck hanging method, very cool

Yep, I think I will be slavishly copying that design Muzz

Muzza I had terrible problem with some beautiful maple veneer last week . Mould spots on the surface which only appeared the day after I glued it. I can only think as I had to dampen the veneer to make it more supple,so that I could clamp it to the headstock more easily. I guess the cooler nights and the extra moisture created the right environment for the mould, especially with baking paper on top to stop my caul gluing to veneer. I tried a variety of things to try and kill it the first being chlorine bleach as per recommended online, vinegar, and then hydrogen peroxide at 3%. Wether or not any one had the desired effect or it was combination of all three the bleach didn't lighten the veneer which was great. It looks to of sorted it out , I'll let you know more when I've sanded down properly ready for stain. By the way great build enjoyed watching it develop. Well done.

Best Wishes

Well... No more putting it off. Time to have another crack at that headstock veneer.

I thought I had more F clamps than this. I really would've liked to have used at least another 4, but...


Turned out OK. I'll know for sure when I trim it flush, but I was 'enthusiastic' to see if the veneer would take the stain in a more acceptable way.

Not ideal, but light years ahead of the first attempt...

One never has enough clamps....

Nice hanger idea, simple but effective.

Bewdiful. I think that veneer has a good pattern Muzz

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!

F#%£€¥+{?!!!!!!



I was was trying to tweak the burst with what was meant to be the LAST intensifier coat. I dabbed a mix of Black Stump and Nullabor Ochre - it looked fantastic. 'LOOKED' (past tense) being the key word here...

what happened Muzza looks like you spilled the DT container ?

if it is still damp see if you can soak some up with a rag or paper towel, but very careful to try not smear it

[dingobass]

Not seen that happen before...
