    Not Happy Jan. Got the guitar out this morning all ready to give it a light rub with some 0000 and put the finishing coat on. Not completely dry. Not surprising I suppose considering the weather on the East Coast this week. Oh well next weekend hopefully. Rather than do nothing, off the the big green shed for some 3 mm ply, thought I'd try making up some wooden control cavity covers, I'm just not loving the idea of the cream plastic against the tru-oiled mahogany. So first attempt, cut and sanded to size with a coat of timbermate applied, have to wait and see how things match up.
