Cheers Dedman, I only get a bit of time each weekend to work on it but happy with the progress so far. The wife has already requested I build her one as well so she can learn to play, so probably a HSS or HH STA kit will be the next build.
Yeh Waz, I like the darker shade on the Ash which is the piece underneath. The small maple piece on top I think I wiped on a bit too much dye on because the grain only showed after I used the methylated spirits to remove some of the dye. So I'll have to be careful when staining the quilted maple veneer.
Haha Cork, the shirt unfortunately got sent to the rag pile not long after I got it because it had an argument with some red clothing in the washing machine.
Lol Mark & Simon, it'll probably end up in its rightful state with oil soaked through it because it'll no doubt get used whilst working on my car restoration at some point.
