Ok, this is going to be a pic heavy one...
Got the 'ol brush out and gave all the glue spots a massive scrub with some Goo Off, then gave it a coat of Color Tone Vintage amber. There was even more glue spots then I thought.
Gave it another scrub with the Goo Off and an extremely light sand.
I'd been toying with this idea when I first saw the veneer had already been sanded through.
I used some pinstripping tape around the edges,
And colored black. I'm going to sand or scrape the edge so the binding shows.
Originally I was going to clear coat it with clear spray on lacquer. But, I didn't really want to spend $200 on getting some and I have a massive can of Tung Oil sitting here. So, here it is, after a few thin coats just to seal it while i Work on the back.
And the head stock to match.
And a shot with some hardware.
This is looking so good! Really like the black around the edge 👍🏻
Fantastic! Very keen to hear it when it's done!

Thanks guys!
I filled the rear and sides with ebony Timermate, sanded it down then stained it with colortone black. It's ok. It didn't want to take the stain evenly...
Here it is after a coat of tung oil.
Note to self; Wear gloves while staining.
Scraped the binding.
It turned out pretty good considering i've never scraped binding before.
Just got build up the coats of tung oil and finish off the neck.
That’s turned out really well. Good job on hiding a floor with a feature that has enhanced its appearance.
By the way, how did you scrape the binding? It looks like a good clean job.
Thanks, man. I used a little 15cm metal ruler i have, seemed to do the job.
