"What I lack in talent I make up for with enthusiasm"
From what I read they should suite my needs. I'l find out soon enough.....
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.
