That's looking sensational. Love the quilt and the stain really brings it out. I'd call the reverse burst a very happy mistake.
Have to agree. Quite often those 'Oops' moments at first seem wrong but after emotions have calmed down and logic takes over things tend to look quite good after all, if not better.
It is all part of the magic involved with building your own.

Hello everyone,
It has been a few weeks since I last posted an update. In that time, I have applied the clear coats and waited 20 days. I am now getting ready for finishing. Here are a few pictures with the final coat. I used some decals that my wife had made for her ceramics business to give it a personal touch. They came out great. Next step is wet and dry sanding, then cut and polishing.
Cheers

wow that's come up a treat Cubcall. Are the decals hand painted or printed onto decal paper ? Looks hand painted

If hand painted you may need a few more clear top coats before commencing the wet sand and/or micro mesh polishing.

Very nice indeed! I'm waiting for my LP-1QM kit to arrive and hopefully this will have a nice veneer top like yours. Great job!!!

Love the reverse burst. That veneer has come up amazingly well. Great job!
cheers,
