The spalted cap looks great. Difficult to get representative photo though. It is quite a lovely pale honey colour - in some photos though (e.g. outside in bright sunlight) it looks lighter. I'm struggling a bit with the headstock. On a previous build I used spray on poly to fix and cover the Decal. It worked a treat. This time after reading some more stuff I bit the bullet and bought a can of spray on nitronasty stuff. I started with a base layer and it's giving horrible orange peel effect, so will need a bit of sanding and flattening before Istick the decal on - but i am now reading will need to apply at least 6 - 9 coats nitro on top, and will need to sand back to get rid of any ridges around decal (plus that orange peel is a common - but treatable effect that I am likely to see again). But how far does one 13oz can nitro go !
