Been rolling along quietly and carefully. The body and neck head are now ready for the colouring stage. However there will be a delay for a week or so delivering Xmas presents between here and Geelong.
I am very impressed with the Tru-Oil finish. It is very easy and forgiving to use. Final 50% coat brings up a tremendous shine. I don't think I want to polish it as it is shiny enough but will it scratch more easily?
I hope to get something between these two colour chits for the cap and headstock. I am using Colortone's Mahogany Red brightened with Cherry Red. Test have been successful so now for the real thing. I will try gavinturner's advise and wipe on and off a couple of times to try to make the quilted top pop. I dare not sand as usual(see previous).
