Ok, today is the day that I will make a start! Since my last post I received my orders in the mail; a little jar of Rustin's Grain filler, a bottle of Tungoil and two colors of ink; bright black and bright red.

I drew a line on the headstock and I wil start with sawing it. Next I will try to remove the glue spots on the veneer of the body. Three teachers at school agreed on the best approach; using some warm water on the spots and try to scrape the glue of with a toothbrush. Hopefully that will work because I do not want to sand them of. I need all the veneer because I have to sand between some layers of the staining.

My only thing is that I still have not decided on the finish of the back of the body and the neck. Looking at the jar of grainfiller it looks as if it is not enough to cover the back, sides and neck. Since I will use the Tungoil to harden the finish I think I will go with the staining of the back and neck as well. I'll probably will do a 'small' burst on the headstock as well... Anyway, lot's of things to do and rethink

I will make some pictures later!
