Yesterday, I got a piece of pink Meranti timber from the hardware,close enough color to the mahogany,so I could try some colours.
Out of these colours I picked the Jarrah.

Then I stained the back and sides and let it dry overnight. I am really glad I picked this color, it brought the grain up beautifully.
I couldn’t sleep with this bloody heat we are having,so I was up at six this morning and scraping the binding and giving it it’s first coat of wipe on poly.
