On the MM-1, I scraped some stray paint off the binding, put the sealer on and gave it the first coat of Tru-Oil. I was already happy with the finish, but man, that sealer and first layer really popped the grain on it. It looks really fluid in person. Can't wait until I get some shine on it. Despite some flaws, I'm really, really happy with how this one is turning out.
Also turned my attention back to the JK-1, or at least the neck. After a couple of days of heavy sanding to shape it, I managed to take out the hump on the bottom. It looks a little more like a vulture beak than the Jackson-style headstock I sketched out on the paddle, but I've gotten it to a place where I don't hate it.
